Opis

This volume presents contributions of participants of a workshop held at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques (CRM), University of Montreal. It can be viewed as a sequel to Mirror Symmetry I (1998), Mirror Symmetry II (1996) and Mirror Symmetry III (1999). The text presents a broad survey of many of the noteworthy developments that have taken place in string theory, geometry and duality since the mid 1990s. Some of the topics emphasized include: integrable models and supersymmetric gauge theories; theory of M- and D-branes and noncommutative geometry; duality between strings and gauge theories; and elliptic genera and automorphic forms.
