内容简介
本书是一本真正意义上的现代弦论的入门书籍，内容现代全面，简明，将20世纪80年代以来弦论中最易于理解，最重要的方面全面囊括其中。物理的一个核心理论是用一维扩充弦代替零维类点粒子，弦论已经成为成功地各种基本自然力统一起来的最重要理论。本书从弦论的基本定义开始，通述了经典观点和现代观点。特别地，书中详述了扰动弦论及其共形场论，同时探讨了非扰动的各个方面和弦相互作用的整体性。陈列了一些现代话题如黑洞、他们的显微熵和Ads/CFT对应，并且包括了将近500研究生水平的习题，这些都使本书的独立性增强，内容更加详实。目次：导论；经典弦论；波色弦的量子化；共形场论；散射振幅和漩涡算子；背景场论中的弦；超弦和超对称；D膜；紧化和超对称破坏；弦效应耦合的环校正；对偶连接和微扰理论效应；黑洞和弦论中的熵；边界对应；弦论和矩阵模型；附录:二维复几何；微分形式；θ和其他椭圆函数；Toroidal格点和；Toroidal-Kaluza-Klein推导；Reissner-Norstrom黑洞；D=4下的电磁对偶；十维和十一维中的超对称；N=1,2，四维超对称；四维中的BPS。

本书特色
this is a textbook on the collection ofideas categorized under the name of “string theory.” this is a large domain that has as its central goal the unification ofallinteractions including gravity. there have been several surges ofprogress in different directions in the past twenty years， and this book tries to give the student ofthe field some of the salientideas.
