The topics covered in the present volume include duality in field theory, in particular in supersymmetric field theory and supergravity, and in string theory. The Seiberg-Witten theory and its recent developments are also covered in detail.
The contributions to this volume of the famous summer school in Les Houches cover the recent developments in supersymmetric string theory, the gauge theory/string theory correspondence and string duality.

"This book is a testimony to the BIRS Workshop, and it covers a wide range of topics at the interface of number theory and string theory, with special emphasis on modular forms and string duality.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people contributed to the success of TASI 96 and earned well deserved thanks. K-T. Mahantappa provided the intellectual and organizational framework for a stimulating and highly productive school; ...
The contributions to this book have been selected and arranged in such a way as to form a self-contained, graduate level textbook.
The topics include 1) construction of unstable non-BPS D-branes in type IIA and type IIB string theories, 2) construction of stable nonBPS D-branes on various orbifolds and orientifolds of type II string theories, 3) description of BPS ...
