Titre : | Basic concepts of string theory | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs : | Blumenhagen Ralph ; Dieter Lust ; Stefan Theisen | Editeur : | london:springer | Année de publication : | 2013 | Collection : | Theoretical and mathematical physics | Importance : | 782 p | Présentation : | couv. ill. | Format : | 16*24 cm | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-3-642-29496-9 | Prix : | 45.00 € | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Mots-clés : | string theory | Résumé : | The purpose of this book is to thoroughly prepare the reader for research in string theory at an intermediate level. As such it is not a compendium of results but intended as textbook in the sense that most of the material is organized in a pedagogical and self-contained fashion.
Beyond the basics, a number of more advanced topics are introduced, such as conformal field theory, superstrings and string dualities - the text does not cover applications to black hole physics and cosmology, nor strings theory at finite temperatures.
End-of-chapter references have been added to guide the reader wishing to pursue further studies or to start research in well-defined topics covered by this book. | Note de contenu : | Index |
