Recent work is reviewed in which compactifications of string and M theory are constructed in
which all scalar fields (moduli) are massive, and supersymmetry is broken with a small …

We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic
ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed-string fluxes in type-II …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

This thorough and detailed exposition is the result of an intensive month-long course on
mirror symmetry sponsored by the Clay Mathematics Institute. It develops mirror symmetry …

The geometric Langlands program can be described in a natural way by compactifying on a
Riemann surface C a twisted version of N= 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions …

Ricci flow is a powerful analytic method for studying the geometry and topology of manifolds.

A bstract As a refinement of the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we propose that a
quantum gravitational theory in an infinite distance limit of its moduli space either …

This is an introduction to the properties of D-branes, topological defects in string theory on
which string endpoints can live. D-branes provide a simple description of various …
