Mathematics Subject Classification ID

Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to quantum theory (81-02) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30) Relativistic cosmology (83F05)

Abstract: This article, based on the Klein lecture, contains some new results and new speculations on various topics. They include discussion of open strings in the AdS space, unusual features of D-branes, conformal gauge theories in higher dimensions. We also comment on the infrared screening of the cosmological constant and on the "brane worlds"
