Lecture 1 D-BRANES AND GAUGE THEORY IN FLAT SPACE
An introductory lecture. Students will be expected to be familiar with supersymmetric gauge theory and basic concepts of string theory.
Lecture 2 BRANES, INSTANTONS AND MONOPOLES
Explains the derivation of the ADHM and Nahm constructions of instantons and monopoles in commutative and noncommutative gauge theories from branes.
Lecture 3 BRANES AT ORBIFOLD SINGULARITIES
Explains how such theories are derived, their basic physical properties and the McKay correspondence.
Lecture 4 INTRODUCTION TO D-BRANES ON CALABI-YAU
Some general concepts, illustrated by in-depth consideration of the non-compact Calabi-Yau obtained by resolving a $C^3 / Z_3$ orbifold.
