The moduli space of superstring theories with 32 or 16 supercharges are described from several points of view. A general discussion on dualities is given working in flat spacetimes, in which some dimensions have been compactified into a torus. A review of D-branes is presented, and it is shown how the corresponding theories lead to Type I\(^\prime\) theory, to F-theory, and to M-theory compactified on \(K3\) surfaces. The general problem of using curved manifolds as superstring backgrounds and the holonomy classification of Riemannian manifolds are discussed. A detailed review of relevant topics of algebraic geometry is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0987.00054].
