Synopsis "m-theory and quantum geometry"

the fundamental structure of matter and spacetime at the shortest length scales remains an exciting frontier of basic research in theoretical physics. a unifying theme in this area is the quantisation of geometrical objects. the majority of contributions to this volume cover recent advances in superstring theory, which is the leading candidate for a unified description of all known elementary particles and interactions. the geometrical concept of one-dimensional extended objects (strings) has always been at the core of superstring theory, but recently the focus has shifted to include higher-dimensional objects (d-branes), which play a key role in non-perturbative dynamics of the theory. related developments are also described in m-theory, our understanding of quantum effects in black-hole physics, gauge theory of the strong interaction, and the dynamic triangulation construction of the quantum geometry of spacetime.
