The fundamental structure of matter and spacetime at the shortest
length scales remains an exciting frontier of basic research in
theoretical physics. A unifying theme in this area is the
quantization of geometrical objects. The majority of lectures at
the Advanced Study Institute on Quantum Ge ometry in Akureyri was
on recent advances in superstring theory, which is the leading
candidate for a unified description of all known elementary par
ticles and interactions. The geometric concept of one-dimensional
extended objects, or strings, has always been at the core of
superstring theory but in recent years the focus has shifted to
include also higher-dimensional ob jects, so called D-branes, which
play a key role in the non-perturbative dynamics of the theory. A
related development has seen the strong coupling regime of a given
string theory identified with the weak coupling regime of what was
previ ously believed to be a different theory, and a web of such"
dualities" that interrelates all known superstring theories has
emerged. The resulting uni fied theoretical framework, termed
M-theory, has evolved at a rapid pace in recent years."
