Title: Physics and geometry of F-theory compactifications
Abstract: I will give a basic introduction to F-theory — a non-perturbative formulation of type IIB string theory. After going through some of the mathematical details of the subject, I will focus on the interplay between 4D anomaly cancellations and the geometry of Calabi—Yau fourfolds.
