The schedule for this Journal Club on String Theory will be as follows: 1) The latest news in the world of strings Please bring papers that caught your recent attention and briefly summarize motivations, methods and results. 2) "Type IIB Fluxes from the string worldsheet", discussion led by Massimo Bianchi Abstract: We briefly review the hybrid formalism for the manifestly supersymmetric quantization in D=4 and describe the construction of vertex operators for both R-R and NS-NS 3-form fluxes. Physical applications and comparison with supergravity results in the limit of dilute fluxes are discussed. We conclude with few caveats. Hope to see you all!!
