String Theory Lectures

The ICTS-Infosys string theory lectures are delivered by leading physicists in current areas of research in string theory as well as closely related areas influenced by developments in string theory. These lectures start at a level suited to a beginning graduate student and advance to current open ended research problems in these topics.
