Summary: Fivebranes are non-perturbative objects in string theory that generalize two-dimensional conformal field theory and relate such diverse subjects as moduli spaces of vector bundles on surfaces, automorphic forms, elliptic genera, the geometry of Calabi-Yau threefolds, and generalized Kac-Moody algebras.
