A Mathematical Introduction to String Theory: Variational Problems, Geometric and Probabilistic Methods: 225 (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Series Number 225) - Softcover
Synopsis
Classical string theory is concerned with the propagation of classical 1-dimensional curves 'strings', and the theory has connections to the calculus of variations, minimal surfaces and harmonic maps. The quantization of string theory gives rise to problems in different areas, according to the method used. The representation theory of Lie, Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras have been used for such quantization. In this lecture note the authors give an introduction to certain global analytic and probabilistic aspects of string theory. It is their intention to bring together, and make explicit the necessary mathematical tools. Researchers with an interest in string theory, in either mathematics or theoretical physics, will find this a stimulating volume.

' ... a valuable addition ... admirably lucid.' David Bailin, Contemporary Physics
' ... it is admirable how the authors managed to introduce such a quantity of material in 85 pages ... a good introduction to contemporary research in the field.' European Mathematical Society
