Gauge theories and geometry in non-perturbative string theory

The central theme in this thesis is compactifications: reductions of higher dimensional theories to lower dimensions and how the geometry of the compactification manifold determines features of the low energy physics. This is studied in the context of non-perturbative string theory in the framework...
