String theory is a leading candidate for the unification of
universal forces and matter, and one of its most striking
predictions is the existence of small additional dimensions that
have escaped detection so far. This book focuses on the geometry of
these dimensions, beginning with the basics of the theory, the
mathematical properties of spinors, and differential geometry. It
further explores advanced techniques at the core of current
research, such as G-structures and generalized complex geometry.
Many significant classes of solutions to the theory's equations are
studied in detail, from special holonomy and Sasaki-Einstein
manifolds to their more recent generalizations involving fluxes for
form fields. Various explicit examples are discussed, of interest
to graduates and researchers.
