- Nabu-Goto and Polyakov actions
- Symmetries
- Light cone quantization
- Spectrum (Tachyon!)we will explore some special spaces
- Compact dimensions
- Orbifolds/Orientifolds (Bosonic open strings/D-branes)finishing with the first and simplest string amplitude
- 1-loop bosonic amplitudes (the partition function)A 2nd semester is expected where superstring theory and realizations of the Standard Model in String Theory will be covered.
