Description
This volume aims to provide an updated status of the last developments and current problems in string theory in connection with gravity and the physics at the Planck scale. The text also contains discussions on fundamental problems of quantum gravity and the physics at the Planck energy scale in the present-day context, irrespective of strings or any other models. This text is intended for use by high energy physicists and astrophysicists.
