String Theory is our current best candidate for the unification
of all fundamental forces, including gravity, in a consistent
quantum framework. In this collection of lectures delivered at the
Carg se Summer School "String Theory: from Gauge Interactions to
Cosmology'', world leading experts provide an up-to-date survey of
the latest developments in this topic, including the gauge/gravity
correspondence, superstring cosmology and cosmic strings,
topological string theory and matrix models, physics beyond the
standard model and the landscape of vacua of string theory,
conformal field theory and critical phenomena in statistical
mechanics. Many more topics are also discussed in shorter
contributions by School participants. Written with an emphasis on
pedagogy, this volume will be a invaluable resource to students and
experts alike.
