A preliminary list of topics to be covered includes:
  • strings, branes, and M-theory;
  • supersymmetry and supergravity;
  • conformal field theory and AdS/CFT correspondence;
  • higher-spin gauge theory;
  • noncommutative geometry in field theory;
  • quantum gravity and black holes;
  • brane cosmology and implications of large and small extra dimensions;
  • quantization of gauge theories;
  • external fields and boundary conditions in QFT;
