Abstract

This is a series of remedial lectures on open and unoriented strings for the heterotic string generation. The particular focus is on the interesting features that arise under T-duality---D-branes and orientifolds. The final lecture discusses the application to string duality. There will be no puns. Lectures presented by J. P. at the ITP from Nov. 16 to Dec. 5, 1995. References updated through Jan. 25, 1996.
