Superstring theory for mathematicians

The key result of superstring theory will be formulated as an existence theorem. A definition of a model of superstring theory will be given by using properties of solutions of the two-dimensional wave equation and representation theory. The proof of the theorem is outlined that there exist at least 5 models of superstring theory, called type I, type IIA, type IIB, type HO and type HE string theories.
The spacetime (a Lorentzian manifold together with a timelike vector field) should be 10-dimensional and the gauge group SO(32) or $E_8\times E_8$.
All necessary notions will be defined in the talk.
Remarks:
It would be nice to have one unified theory. What is known about it? These 5 models of superstring theory are related by S-duality, which has an analogue in the Langlands program, and by T-duality, which is based on the mirror symmetry of cohomology of Calabi-Yau manifolds. There is a conjecture that each of the five types string theories become special cases of so called M-theory. Amazing AdS/CFT-correspondence is a holography relationship between superstring model of the type IIB on AdS_$5\times S^5$ and the conformal-invariant $N = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime.
Some mathematical topics in superstring theory: hypothesis of the absence of divergences in higher orders of perturbation theory; moduli of super Riemann surfaces; nonperturbative string field theory and a sum over topologies; quantum gravity and classification of Riemannian manifolds; cobordisms; $(\infty,n)$-category; holography.
Some other problems: black hole information paradox and firewalls; did the universe exist before the Big Bang; hypothesis oа quantum fluctuations of the number field.
