20 Years of String Theory in Munich

Prof. Dieter Lüst

08.05.2025  -  24.07.2025

In the series of lectures I will review some of the research results in string theory, which were obtained during the last 20 years at the ASC and the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics. They reflect some of the research activities in our group during these years, starting from intersecting brane models, aspects of string landscape, properties of black holes, non-geometric string constructions and aspects of the quantum gravity swampland.
