We present an overview of the intimate relationship between string and D-brane dynamics, and the dynamics of gauge and gravitational fields in three spacetime dimensions. The successes, prospects and open problems in describing both…

Recently, branes in supergravity have become an indispensable tool even for traditional relativists. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a pedagogical account of the brane technology so that the relativists can use branes in their…

In these introductory lectures we summarize some basic facts and techniques about perturbative string theory (sections 1 to 6). These are further developed (sections 7 and 8) for describing string propagation in the presence of…
