String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. It introduces the basics of perturbative string theory, world-sheet supersymmetry, space-time supersymmetry, conformal field theory and the heterotic string, before describing modern developments, including D-branes, string dualities and M-theory. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments.
It concludes with Matrix theory, the AdS/CFT duality and its generalizations. It then covers string geometry and flux compactifications, applications to cosmology and particle physics, black holes in string theory and M-theory, and the microscopic origin of black-hole entropy. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook for a one-year course on string theory.
It contains over 120 exercises with
Supersymmetry and String Theory
String Theory in a Nutshell
Quantum String Theory
