Condition: New. Dieser Artikel ist ein Print on Demand Artikel und wird nach Ihrer Bestellung fuer Sie gedruckt. This 1998 volume provides a comprehensive introduction to supersymmetric string theories, presents important discoveries that have been made including D-branes, and goes on to discuss four-dimensional string theories. This is an essential text and reference.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Volume 2: Superstring Theory and Beyond, begins with an introduction to supersymmetric string theories and goes on to a broad presentation of the important advances of recent years. The book first introduces the type I, type II, and heterotic superstring theories and their interactions. It then goes on to present important recent discoveries about strongly coupled strings, beginning with a detailed treatment of D-branes and their dynamics, and covering string duality, M-theory, and black hole entropy, and discusses many classic results in conformal field theory. The final four chapters are concerned with four-dimensional string theories, and have two goals: to show how some of the simplest string models connect with previous ideas for unifying the Standard Model; and to collect many important and beautiful general results on world-sheet and spacetime symmetries. Volume 2 introduces type I, type II, and heterotic superstring theories and their interactions and presents important discoveries about strongly coupled strings, four-dimensional and other string theories.
