STRING THEORY
J.L.F. Barbon
Department of Physics, Theory Division, CERN Geneva
Abstract
"This is a rendering of a review talk on the state of String Theory, given at
the EPS-2003 Conference, intended for a wide audience of experimental and theoretical physicists. It emphasizes general ideas rather than technical aspects."
Remarkably concise for a survey paper, only 12 pages and 46 references.
Focuses on the most salient current problems and results. General not-too-technical style. May provide a useful largescale map to the subject. Might be worth discussing. How good a review is it, if someone has the knowledge to make such an assessment? Is there an important part of the picture that Barbon left out?
