These notes on string theory are based on a series of talks I gave during my graduate studies. As the talks, this introductory essay is intended for young students and non-string theory physicists.

This is a brief description of what has been accomplished and what remains to be done in the construction of a nonperturbative formulation of "The Theory Formerly Known as String". It is culled from two short talks given by the author at…

In this talk we describe recent progress in construction of inflationary models in the context of string theory with flux compactification and moduli stabilization. We also discuss a possibility to test string theory by cosmological…

This thesis discusses various aspects of duality in quantum field theory and string theory. In the first part we consider duality in topological quantum field theories, concentrating on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theories as (dual)…

This article reviews recent work with M.R.Douglas and B. Shiffman on statistics of vacua in type IIb flux compactions of string/M theory.

The perturbative analysis of models of open and closed superstrings presents a number of surprises. For instance, variable numbers of antisymmetric tensors ensure their consistency via generalized Green-Schwarz cancellations and a novel…

For many years I have taught an advanced statistical inference course for master's students using the text of Casella and Berger (2002). The book gives a comprehensive treatment of the core topics at a level that avoids measure theory while…

A polemical article evaluating string theory from the point of view of a quantum field theorist working in a mathematics department. Comments to the author are encouraged.

Unabridged version of the Thesis presented to the University of L' Aquila, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the ``Laurea'' degree in Physics, October 1998. Work carried out at the University of L'Aquila and at the University…

Reply to a comment by T. Rakovszky, F. Pollmann, and C. W von Keyserlingk [arXiv:2010.07969].

The aim of these notes is to give recent developments in string theory. In particular, we discuss the string spectrums, compactifications, brane physics and dualities.

We give a pedagogical introduction to string theory, D-branes and p-brane solutions.

This article represents the author's PhD thesis. It describes moduli stabilisation in IIB string theory and applications to phenomenological topics. The first half of the thesis starts with an introductory review. It continues with an…

The study of string models including both unoriented closed strings and open strings presents a number of new features when compared to the standard case of models of oriented closed strings only. We review some basic features of the…

This is the written version of a short talk given at the University of Leipzig in December 1998. It reviews some general aspects of string theory from the viewpoint of the search for an unifying theory. Here, special emphasis lies on the…

Paper has been accepted for publication in the Journal f\"ur die reine und Angewandte Mathematik. This version contains the corrections and additional references made in the Galley proofs.

In these notes, based on a talk given at the Rencontres de Moriond, I give a simple introduction to the tremendous progress that has been made during the last few years towards the understanding of strong-coupling phenomena in quantum gauge…

Notes of my 14 `lectures on everything' given at the 1995 Les Houches school. An introductory course in topological and conformal field theory, strings, gauge fields, supersymmetry and more. The presentation is more mathematical then usual…

I describe various aspects of the construction of a dual standard model including how it may be possible to obtain the charge spectrum, the family structure and spin of the known matter particles. I summarize the encouraging features of the…
