This book provides a self-contained introduction to string theory,
at present one of the most exciting and fastest-growing areas in
theoretical high-energy physics. Pedagogical in character, it
introduces modern techniques and concepts, such as conformal and
superconformal field theory, Kac-Moody algebras, etc., stressing
their relevance and application to string theory rather than the
formal aspects. The reader is led from a basic discussion of the
classical bosonic string to the construction of four-dimensional
heterotic string models, an area of current research. The so-called
covariant lattice construction is discussed in detail. Being
conceptually very simple, the book serves to exemplify the relevant
features of other methods of arriving at four-dimensional string
theories. It is also shown how one derives a low-energy field
theory from string theory, thereby making contact with conventional
point-particle physics.
