Looking for M-, F-Theory introduction

[Omega137]

Hello!

I'm looking for some introductory articles on M- and F-Theory. Can anyone help me? I'm looking for articles with deep (compleet) mathematical treatment.

Thx, O

These are the best lectures on F-theory I've seen so far:

As for M-theory, it depends on which particular aspect of M-theory you are interested in. For example, if you want to learn about G2 compactifications of M-theory, here is a good review by Acharya and Gukov: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0409191
