These notes are based on lectures given by Michael Green during Part III of the Mathematics Tripos (the Certificate for Advanced Study in Mathematics) in the Spring of 2003. The course provided an introduction to string theory, focussing on the Bosonic string, but treating the superstring as well. A background in quantum field theory and general relativity is assumed. Some background in particle physics, group theory and conformal field theory is useful, though not essential. A number of appendices on more advanced topics are also provided, including an introduction to orientifolds in various brane configurations which helps to populate a relatively sparse part of the literature.

    A second-order RG-improved Schwarzschild-(A)dS metric is derived and its scalar QNMs are shown to depend weakly on the free parameter ζ, with consistent results from WKB, shooting, and matrix-pencil time-domain analysis.
