What are the topics of string theory that are comprehensible with only a mathematical background on manifolds and algebraic topology? Also, I have read only the first four chapters in Peskin & Schroder. And I have studied QM.

Thanks , I just want to know the topics i mentioned above with a list of introductory reference material for self study. For eexample I know that Calabi-Yau Manifolds are vital in string theory research . What are the references for Calabi-yau and other topics that are useful for someone with very limited QFT background but have studied Geometry and topology? – EGY May 24 '12 at 21:12
