Type II string theory — In theoretical physics, type II string theory is a unified term that includes both type IIA strings and type IIB strings. These account for two of the five consistent superstring theories in ten dimensions. Both theories have the maximal amount… … Wikipedia
Type I string theory — In theoretical physics, type I string theory is one of five consistent supersymmetric string theories in ten dimensions. It is the only one whose strings are unoriented (both orientations of a string are equivalent) and which contains not only… … Wikipedia

Mirror symmetry (string theory) — In physics and mathematics, mirror symmetry is a relation that can exist between two Calabi Yau manifolds. It happens, usually for two such six dimensional manifolds, that the shapes may look very different geometrically, but nevertheless they… … Wikipedia
History of string theory — 1943 1958: S Matrix String theory is an outgrowth of a research program begun by Werner Heisenberg in 1943, picked up and advocated by many prominent theorists starting in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, which was discarded and… … Wikipedia

Matrix string theory — In physics, Matrix string theory is a set of equations that describe superstring theory in a non perturbative framework. Type IIA string theory can be shown to be equivalent to a maximally supersymmetric two dimensional gauge theory, the gauge… … Wikipedia
Non-critical string theory — The non critical string theory describes the relativistic string without enforcing the critical dimension. Although this allows the construction of a string theory in 4 spacetime dimensions, such a theory usually does not describe a Lorentz… … Wikipedia
