Grand Unification and the hidden geometry of String Theory — •Thomas Grimm — Max Planck Institute for Physics, Munich, Germany

In this talk I present recent progress in realizing Grand Unified Theories in String Theory. I describe how the hidden dimensions of String Theory allow to geometrize many aspects of gauge theories and unify them with gravity. A special emphasis is given on the study of the effective actions that describe the dynamics of such String Theories at observably low energies.
