A Primer on String Theory
A Primer on String Theory by Volker Schomerus, published by Cambridge University Press on June 26, 2017, offers a concise introduction to the fundamental concepts of string theory. Spanning 234 pages, this edition is designed for readers who may have no prior knowledge of the subject, as well as scholars from various disciplines seeking to understand the basics of this multidisciplinary field.
The book explains central concepts and mathematical tools related to string theory, while also addressing recent developments in physics, such as compactifications and gauge/string dualities. By bridging high energy physics, mathematics, and quantum field theory, this work serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the scientific exploration of string theory and its implications in the broader context of physics.
Official synopsis Publisher
Since its conception in the 1960s, string theory has been hailed as one of the most promising routes we have to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. This book provides a concise introduction to string theory explaining central concepts, mathematical tools and covering recent developments in physics including compactifications and gauge/string dualities. With string theory being a multidisciplinary field interfacing with high energy physics, mathematics and quantum field theory, this book is ideal for both students with no previous knowledge of the field and scholars from other disciplines who are looking for an introduction to basic concepts.
