Introduction to Superstring Theory

http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-ex/0008017

These four lectures, addressed to an audience of graduate students in experimental high energy physics, survey some of the basic concepts in string theory. The purpose is to convey a general sense of what string theory is and what it has achieved.[Postscript]

Introduction to Superstring Theory

http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9709062

In these lecture notes, an introduction to superstring theory is presented. Classical strings, covariant and light-cone quantization, supersymmetric strings, anomaly cancelation, compactification, T-duality, supersymmetry breaking, and threshold corrections to low-energy couplings are discussed. A brief introduction to non-perturbative duality symmetries is also included.

Introduction to Non-Pertubative String Theory

http://xxx.uni-augsburg.de/abs/hep-th/9802051

In this review I discuss some basic aspects of non-perturbative string theory. The topics include test of duality symmetries based on the analysis of the low energy effective action and the spectrum of BPS states, relationship between different duality symmetries, an introduction to M- and F-theories, black hole entropy in string theory, and Matrix theory.

Branes for Relativists

http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0108046

The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a pedagogical account of the brane technology so that the relativists can use branes in their study.
