Speaker: Steve Abel   (IPPP Durham)

Title: Overview of string theory and its phenomenology

Abstract:

I will review some of the crucial concepts of string theory and its influence on our thinking about
phenomenological questions. The talk is very loosely based on my Cargese lectures of 2007 available at
http://pos.sissa.it//archive/conferences/049/001/cargese_001.pdf
(These provide much more background and detail.)
