Quantum aspects of gauge theories, supersymmetry, and unification : proceedings of the second international conference held in Corfu, Greece, 20-26 September 1998 /

The articles in this book are written versions of talks presented at a conference organized by the TMR network in Corfu. The main theme of the conference was the interconnection between string theory and gauge theory. These very recent developments draw from many aspects of string theory, supergravi...
