Recent developments in superstring theory.
There have been many remarkable developments in our understanding of superstring theory in the past few years, a period that has been described as "the second superstring revolution." In particular, what once appeared to be five distinct theories are now recognized to be different manifestations of a single (unique) underlying theory. Some of the evidence for this, based on dualities and the ap...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Superstring Theory
This talk will begin with a brief review of pre1994 string theory. Then I shall describe the develoments during 1994-1996 which include duality symmetries, D-branes and black holes. Finally I shall turn to the discussion of some of the developments during 1997-2000. The topics covered will include (M)atrix theory, Maldacena conjecture, non-commutative geometry, tachyon condensation, special lim...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Superstring Phenomenology
Recent developments in superstring phenomenology are summarized on a non-technical level. Talk presented at the XXVIIth Rencontre de Moriond on Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories. CERN-TH.6492/92 May 1992 Superstring theory [1] is still today the only candidate theory incorporating a consistent quantum gravity. That is, it provides a prescription of how to sensibly compute loop corre...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Superstring Theory
Superstring theory has continued to develop at a rapid clip in the past few years. Following a quick review of some of the major discoveries prior to 1998, this talk focuses on a few of the more recent developments. The topics I have chosen to present are 1) the use of K-theory to classify conserved charges carried by D-branes; 2) tachyon condensation on unstable D-brane systems; and 3) an intr...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Maser Theory
This review covers selected developments in maser theory since the previous meeting, Cosmic Masers: From Proto-Stars to Black Holes (Migenes & Reid 2002). Topics included are time variability of fundamental constants, pumping of OH megamasers and indicators for differentiating disks from bi-directional outflows.
