INTRODUCTORY SCHOOL ON STRING THEORY | (smr 1410) (03-14 June 2002)

Administration

Description

The purpose of this School is to provide an introductory set of lectures on string theory for beginners in the field.  The School will begin with a discussion of the quantization of strings, their low energy effective theories and their compactifications, and will lead up to recent developments in the non-perturbative aspects of string theory such as D-branes, string dualities and dualities between string theories and gauge theories (e.g. AdS/CFT correspondence).

TOPICS INCLUDE:

- BOSONIC & FERMIONIC STRINGS, HETEROTIC STRING
- SUPERGRAVITY ACTIONS AND THEIR CLASSICAL SOLUTIONS
- TOROIDAL & CALABI-YAU COMPACTIFICATIONS
- D-BRANES & OPEN STRINGS
- STRING DUALITIES
- STRING THEORY/GAUGE THEORY DUALITY
