Résumé : |
Called by some, "the theory of everything," superstring theory may lead to the unification of the two great theories of the 20th century, general relativity and quantum field theory. This text stresses various areas of interest, including: string field theory, multi loops, Teichmueller spaces, conformal field theory, and four-dimensional strings. the book begin with a simple discussion of point particle theory and uses feynman path integral s to unify the presentation of superstrings, it has been updated throughout, and three new chapters on M-theory have been added |
Note de contenu : |
- First Quantization and Path Integrals
Path Integrals and Point Particles

-Phenomenology and Model Building:
Anomalies and the Atiyah-Singer Theorem
