Based on lectures given at the TASI summer school of 2010, this book provides advanced graduate students, postdoctorates & senior researchers with a survey of important topics in particle physics & string theory, with emphasis on applications of methods from string theory & quantum gravity in condensed matter physics & QCD. ...
String theory is a model of physics that can, in principle, explain all of the particles & fundamental forces of nature by modeling them as vibrations of tiny supersymmetric strings. This book elucidates the highly mathematical & complex string theory, covering topics such as particle physics, quantum field theory, & D-brane physics. ...
Gives an introduction to modern string theory. Starting with the basic definitions of the theory, this work guides readers through classic & modern topics. It presents topics including black holes, their microscopic entropy, & the Ad S/CFT correspondence. It also describes matrix model tools for string theory. ...
String theory is a model of fundamental physics whose building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings, rather than the zero-dimensional point particles that form the basis for the standard model of particle physics. Studies of string theory have revealed that it predicts higher-dimensional objects called branes. ...
