STRING THEORY AND M-THEORY
Ouvrage 9780521860697 : STRING THEORY AND M-THEORY
String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of
modern theoretical physics. This book guides the reader from the basics
of string theory to recent developments. It introduces the basics of
perturbative string theory, world-sheet supersymmetry, space-time
supersymmetry, conformal field theory and the heterotic string, before
describing modern developments, including D-branes, string dualities and
M-theory. It then covers string geometry and flux compactifications,
applications to cosmology and particle physics, black holes in string
theory and M-theory, and the microscopic origin of black-hole entropy.
It concludes with Matrix theory, the AdS/CFT duality and its
generalizations. This book is ideal for graduate students and
researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook
for a one-year course on string theory. It contains over 120 exercises
with solutions, and over 200 homework problems with solutions available
on a password protected website for lecturers at
www.cambridge.org/9780521860697.
