Classical string theory is concerned with the propagation of
classical 1-dimensional curves 'strings', and the theory has
connections to the calculus of variations, minimal surfaces and
harmonic maps. The quantization of string theory gives rise to
problems in different areas, according to the method used. The
representation theory of Lie, Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras have
been used for such quantization. In this lecture note the authors
give an introduction to certain global analytic and probabilistic
aspects of string theory. It is their intention to bring together,
and make explicit the necessary mathematical tools. Researchers
with an interest in string theory, in either mathematics or
theoretical physics, will find this a stimulating volume.
