Hardback. Condition: Fair. This book is the essential new introduction to modern string theory, by one of the world's authorities on the subject. Concise, clearly presented, and up-to-date, String Theory in a Nutshell brings together the best understood and most important aspects of a theory that has been evolving since the early 1980s. A core model of physics that substitutes one-dimensional extended "strings" for zero-dimensional point-like particles (as in quantum field theory), string theory has been the leading candidate for a theory that would successfully unify all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity. Starting with the basic definitions of the theory, Elias Kiritsis guides readers through classic and modern topics. In particular, he treats perturbative string theory and its Conformal Field Theory (CFT) tools in detail while also developing nonperturbative aspects and exploring the unity of string interactions. He presents recent topics including black holes, their microscopic entropy, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. He also describes matrix model tools for string theory. In all, the book contains nearly five hundred exercises for the graduate-level student, and works as a self-contained and detailed guide to the literature. String Theory in a Nutshell is the staple one-volume reference on the subject not only for students and researchers of theoretical high-energy physics, but also for mathematicians and physicists specializing in theoretical cosmology and QCD.…

Condition: Very Good. : Este libro es una introducción esencial a la teoría de cuerdas moderna, escrita por una de las mayores autoridades en la materia. Conciso, claramente presentado y actualizado, 'String Theory in a Nutshell' reúne los aspectos mejor comprendidos e importantes de una teoría que ha ido evolucionando desde principios de la década de 1980. Un modelo central de la física que sustituye las 'cuerdas' extendidas unidimensionales por partículas puntuales de dimensión cero (como en la teoría cuántica de campos), la teoría de cuerdas ha sido el principal candidato para una teoría que unificaría con éxito todas las fuerzas fundamentales de la naturaleza, incluida la gravedad.Comenzando con las definiciones básicas de la teoría, Elias Kiritsis guía a los lectores a través de temas clásicos y modernos. En particular, trata en detalle la teoría de cuerdas perturbativa y sus herramientas de la Teoría de Campos Conformes (CFT), al tiempo que desarrolla aspectos no perturbativos y explora la unidad de las interacciones de cuerdas. Presenta temas recientes como los agujeros negros, su entropía microscópica y la correspondencia AdS/CFT. También describe las herramientas del modelo matricial para la teoría de cuerdas. En total, el libro contiene cerca de quinientos ejercicios para el estudiante de nivel de posgrado, y funciona como una guía autónoma y detallada de la literatura.

Hardback. Condition: Fair. The ideal textbook for a one-semester introductory course for graduate students or advanced undergraduatesThis book provides an essential introduction to the physics of quantum many-body systems, which are at the heart of atomic and nuclear physics, condensed matter, and particle physics. Unlike other textbooks on the subject, it covers topics across a broad range of physical fields?phenomena as well as theoretical tools?and does so in a simple and accessible way.Edward Shuryak begins with Feynman diagrams of the quantum and statistical mechanics of a particle; in these applications, the diagrams are easy to calculate and there are no divergencies. He discusses the renormalization group and illustrates its uses, and covers systems such as weakly and strongly coupled Bose and Fermi gases, electron gas, nuclear matter, and quark-gluon plasmas. Phenomena include Bose condensation and superfluidity. Shuryak also looks at Cooper pairing and superconductivity for electrons in metals, liquid ³He, nuclear matter, and quark-gluon plasma. A recurring topic throughout is topological matter, ranging from ensembles of quantized vortices in superfluids and superconductors to ensembles of colored (QCD) monopoles and instantons in the QCD vacuum.Proven in the classroom, Quantum Many-Body Physics in a Nutshell is the ideal textbook for a one-semester introductory course for graduate students or advanced undergraduates.Teaches students how quantum many-body systems work across many fields of physicsUses path integrals from the very beginningFeatures the easiest introduction to Feynman diagrams availableDraws on the most recent findings, including trapped Fermi and Bose atomic gasesGuides students from traditional systems, such as electron gas and nuclear matter, to more advanced ones, such as quark-gluon plasma and the QCD vacuum.…
