This volume is the proceedings of the 2002 Clay Mathematics
Institute School on Geometry and String Theory. This month-long
program was held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical
Sciences in Cambridge, England, and was organized by both
mathematicians and physicists: A. Corti, R. Dijkgraaf, M. Douglas,
J. Gauntlett, M. Gross, C. Hull, A. Jaffe and M. Reid. The early
part of the school had many lectures that introduced various
concepts of algebraic geometry and string theory with a focus on
improving communication between these two fields. During the latter
part of the program there were also a number of research level
talks.

This volume contains a selection of expository and research
articles by lecturers at the school and highlights some of the
current interests of researchers working at the interface between
string theory and algebraic geometry. The topics covered include
manifolds of special holonomy, supergravity, supersymmetry,
D-branes, the McKay correspondence and the Fourier-Mukai
transform.

The book is suitable for graduate students and research
mathematicians interested in relations between mathematical
