Based on lectures given during the fall of 1993, these notes give an account on the index theory and related topics with main emphasis on type III factors. After recalling the modular theory, the structure analysis of type III factors, the Krieger construction, the Jones index theory, the author presents a notion of the index for a normal conditional expectation onto a subfactor, the Longo's approach, and the Pimsner and Popa contribution to the computation of the index. Considering factor-subfactor pairs arising from group-subgroup pairs he gives many examples of principal and dual principal graphs. Then he analyses the structure of inclusions of type III factors of finite indices by comparing the flows of weights. Finally basic facts on the sector theory as well as typical applications are explained.
