M. Kaku Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory Series: Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics
▶ A highly-praised comprehensive, introductory reference on superstring theory ▶ Begins with a simple discussion of point particle theory and uses Feynman path integrals to unify the presentation of superstrings ▶ Incorporates the latest advances and stresses current areas of interest, including: string field theory, multi-loops, Teichmüller spaces, conformal field theory, and four-dimensional strings ▶ Kaku is a well-known author of both scientific and popular-level books who is sometimes cited in the press ▶ Kaku's is the best comprehensive text on string theory, including applications to phenomenology" ▶ FOUNDATIONS OF PYSICS 2nd ed. 1999, XVII, 587 p. Superstrings - provocative, controversial, possibly untestable, but unarguably one of the most interesting and active areas of research in current physics. Called by some, "the Printed book theory of everything", superstrings may solve a problem which has eluded physicists for the past 50 years - the final unification of the two great theories of the twentieth century, Hardcover general relativity and quantum field theory. Now, here is a course-tested comprehensive ▶ 99,99 € | £89.99 | $119.99 introductory graduate text on superstrings which stresses the most current areas of *106,99 € (D) | 109,99 € (A) | CHF 118.00 ▶ interest, not covered in other presentation, including: - string field theory - multi loops - Teichmueller spaces - conformal field theory - four-dimensional strings The book begins eBook with a simple discussion of point particle theory, and uses the Feynman path integral technique to unify the presentation of superstrings.
