RUP is a standardized software development process. It had its origins in the unified modeling language. Rational Corp. took the UML and developed a standardized process for implementing projects in a series of iterations based on its UML tools. IBM bought Rational and continued RUP development. IBM recently donated part of its RUP intellectual property to the open source community. See link in sources for more info.
The second part of your question is a little harder. How RUP relates to project managment is that RUP is a process. It defines the steps to be taken to produce a product and it defines the deliverables to be produced at each phase. So, the relationship between RUP and Project Management is RUP defines the artifacts to be produced and PM strives to manage the cost and schedule associated with producing those artifacts.
