DESCRIPTION:Supergravity and branes: Lecture I\nIn this course I will disc
 uss the different branes in string theory and M-theory from the supergravi
 ty point of view. The course will start with a simple introduction into su
 persymmetry (Lecture 1) followed by an overview of the different supergrav
 ity theories that are relevant to the low-energy description of string/M-t
 heory (Lecture 2). In Lecture 3 the existence of p-branes\, i.e. extended 
 objects with p spatial extensions\, in M-theory will be discussed via the 
 central charges that occur in the supersymmetry algebra. Branes of Type II
 A and IIB string theory will be discussed. Finally\, in the last lecture w
 e will discuss the different dualities of string/M-theory.\n\nhttps://indi
