Superstrings & Related Matters : Proceedings of the Trieste 2000 Spring Workshop, Ictp, Trieste, Italy, 27 March - 4 April 2000.
In this volume, topics such as the AdS/CFT correspondence, non-BPS states, noncommutative gauge theories and the Randall-Sundrum scenario are discussed. For the AdS/CFT correspondence, some of its generalizations, including examples of non-AdS/nonconformal backgrounds, are described. Myer's eff...
