The almost irresistible beauty of string theory has seduced many
theoretical physicists in recent years. Even hardened men have been
swept away by what they can already see and by the promise of even
more. It would appear fair to say that it is not yet clear what
form the theory will finally take and in what precise way it will
relate to the physical world. However, it would seem equally fair
to state that, most likely, strings are here to stay and will playa
profound and central role in our conception of the universe. There
is therefore a pressing need to provide both practicing physicists
and advanced students with ways to master quickly, but soundly, the
basic principles of the theory. The present volume is a step in
that direction. It contains a lucid presentation of the basic
principles of string theory in forms which may survive future
developments. The book is an outgrowth of lectures given by Lars
Brink and Marc Henneaux at the Centro de Estudios Cientificos de
Santiago. The lectures covered in a self-contained manner different
but complementary aspects of the foundations of string theory.
