Spectral geometry for strings and branes

Abstract

I give a short guide into applications of the heat kernel technique to string/brane physics with an emphasis on the emerging boundary value problems.

A talk at "Quantum Gravity and Spectral Geometry", Naples, July 2001, to appear in the Proceedings
