  • Summary

    We use circle and orbicircle compactifications to illustrate generic features of string compactifications, including non-abelian gauge symmetry enhancement, Kac–Moody algebras and the Higgs effect. T-duality is introduced for both closed and open strings. Toroidal compactification are discussed in some detail, and two-tori are used as a proxi for Calabi–Yau compactifications and mirror symmetry. We discuss the vacuum selection problem and introduce the concepts of ‘landscape’ and ‘swampland’.
