Benchmarks on the brane
M. J. Duff
Branes now occupy center stage in theoretical physics as microscopic components of M-theory, as the higher-dimensional progenitors of black holes and as entire universes in their o…
Erice lectures on "The status of local supersymmetry"
M. J. Duff
In the first lecture we review the current status of local supersymmetry. In the second lecture we focus on D=11 supergravity as the low-energy limit of M-theory and pose the quest…
The world in eleven dimensions: a tribute to Oskar Klein
M. J. Duff
Current attempts to find a unified theory that would reconcile Einstein's General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, and explain all known physical phenomena, invoke the Kaluza-Klei…
TASI Lectures on Branes, Black Holes and Anti-de Sitter Space
M. J. Duff
In the light of the duality between physics in the bulk of anti-de Sitter space and a conformal field theory on the boundary, we review the M2, D3 and M5 branes and how their near-…
A Layman's Guide to M-theory
M. J. Duff
The best candidate for a fundamental unified theory of all physical phenomena is no longer ten-dimensional superstring theory but rather eleven-dimensional {\it M-theory}. In the w…
Kaluza-Klein Theory in Perspective
M. J. Duff
The Kaluza-Klein idea of extra spacetime dimensions continues to pervade current attempts to unify the fundamental forces, but in ways somewhat different from that originally envis…
