Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory (1999. Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 1999)Paperback - 1999. Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 1999, 13 July 2013

Called by some, "the theory of everything," superstring theory may lead to the unification of the two great theories of the twentieth century, general relativity and quantum field theory; it is one of the most active areas of research in theoretical physics. This course- tested comprehensive introductory graduate text stresses current areas of interest, including: string field theory, multi loops, Teichmueller spaces, conformal field theory, and four-dimensional strings. Prerequisites are an aquaintance with quantum mechanics and relativity. The second edition will be revised and updated throughout.
