This book gives a modern presentation of modular operands and their role in string field theory. The authors aim to outline the arguments from the perspective of homotopy algebras and their operadic origin.
Part I reviews string field theory from the point of view of homotopy algebras, including A-infinity algebras, loop homotopy (quantum L-infinity) and IBL-infinity algebras governing its structure. Within this framework, the covariant construction of a string field theory naturally emerges as composition of two morphisms of particular odd modular operads. This part is intended primarily for researchers and graduate students who are interested in applications of higher algebraic structures to strings and quantum field theory.
Part II contains a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical background on operads and homotopy algebras in a broader context, which should appeal also to mathematicians who are not familiar with string theory."Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Branislav Jurčo graduated from the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University. He defended his PhD thesis, supervised by Jiří Tolar, in 1991. He was a Humboldt Fellow at TU in Clausthal and MPIM in Bonn. His postdoctoral experience also includes stays at CERN, CRM in Montreal and LMU in Munich. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague. His research focuses on applications of higher algebraic and geometric structures in theoretical and mathematical physics.
Martin Markl graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in 1983 and defended his PhD thesis, written under supervision of Vojtěch Bartík, in 1987. He was influenced at the early stage of his research career by Jim Stasheff during his repeated visits at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is currently a senior research fellow of the Mathematical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. His research is focused on homological algebra, geometry, and applications to mathematical physics.Ivo Sachs graduated in 1991 from the faculty of physics of the ETH in Zurich and defended his PhD in 1994 under the supervision of Andreas Wipf. In 2001 he became a lecturer at the School of Mathematics at Trinity College, Dublin and, later on, was awarded a professorship in theoretical physics at the Ludwing-Maximilians-University in Munich in 2003. His main achievements are in quantumfield theory, the structure of black holes and string field theory.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Books Puddle, New York, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
