  • String Theory and M-Theoryby Katrin Becker; Melanie Becker; John Schwarz

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 80.00

    This book guides the reader through string theory, one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. It is ideal for graduate students and researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook. It contains exercises with solutions, and homework problems with solutions. more...

  • Brane-localized Gravityby Philip D Mannheim

    World Scientific 2005; US$ 83.00

    This timely and valuable book provides a detailed pedagogical introduction and treatment of the brane-localized gravity program of Randall and Sundrum, in which gravitational signals are able to localize around our four-dimensional world in the event that it is a brane embedded in an infinitely-sized, higher dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk space. A completely self-contained development of the material needed for brane-world studies is provided for both students and workers in the field, with a significant amount of the material being previously unpublished. Particular attention is given to issues not ordinarily treated in the brane-world literature, such as the completeness of tensor gravitational fluctuation modes, the causality of brane-world... more...

  • String Phenomenology 2003, Proceedings Of The 2nd International Conferenceby Veronica Sanz; Steve Abel; Jose Santiago

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 179.00

    This book contains a remarkable overview of the current trends in string phenomenology, through the contributions of an international team of researchers who present their latest results. Dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Ian Kogan, this volume will fill a gap in the literature on a comprehensive overview of the subject. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. ? Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings). ? Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). ? CC Proceedings ? Engineering & Physical Sciences. more...

  • String Phenomenology, Proceedings Of The First International Conferenceby S. A. Abel; A E Faraggi; A Ibarra

    World Scientific 2003; US$ 143.00

    String phenomenology offers a bridge between the excitement and novelty that typified theoretical physics in recent years and experimental reality. The First International Conference on String Phenomenology concentrated on cosmological and phenomenologically oriented applications of string theory. The aim was to bring together experimental and theoretical physicists to discuss the triumphs and challenges that high energy physics faces in its attempt to uncover the next layers of fundamental matter and interactions. The main theme was the application of string theory, but the conference also accommodated alternative approaches to physics beyond the Standard Model. The conference featured plenary talks reviewing the major topics, as well as parallel... more...

  • Strings, Branes And Extra Dimensions (tasi 2001)by Steven S Gubser; Joseph D Lykken

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 192.00

    This book covers some recent advances in string theory and extra dimensions. Intended mainly for advanced graduate students in theoretical physics, it presents a rare combination of formal and phenomenological topics, based on the annual lectures given at the School of the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (2001) ? a traditional event that brings together graduate students in high energy physics for an intensive course of advanced learning. The lecturers in the School are leaders in their fields. The first lecture, by E D?Hoker and D Freedman, is a systematic introduction to the gauge?gravity correspondence, focusing in particular on correlation functions in the conformal case. The second, by L Dolan, provides an introduction to perturbative... more...

  • String Theory: From Gauge Interactions to Cosmologyby Laurent Baulieu; Jan de Boer; Boris Pioline

    Springer 2006; US$ 169.00

    String Theory is our best candidate for the unification of all fundamental forces, including gravity, in a consistent quantum framework. This work deals with this subject including topics such as the gauge/gravity correspondence, superstring cosmology and cosmic strings, topological string theory, and more. It is useful for students and experts. more...
