Sala Seminarios (Dpto. de Física Teórica (UVEG))

This two-seminar outlook will cover in a general form the following topics: 1.Introduction 2. String model. From a toy moderl for QCD to a candidate for the theory of everything. 3. Superstrings and supergravity. 4. Supergravity and super-p-branes 5. More branes: D(irichlet) superbranes 6. M-theory, brane democracy 7. Some recent issues: back to QCD from the theory of everything, coincident D-branes and gauge theories, brane world and M-theory, AdS/CFT 8. Conclusion
