Building on the foundations laid in his Introduction to
Superstrings and M Theory, Professor Kaku discusses such topics as
the classification of conformal string theories, knot theory, the
Yang-Baxter relation, quantum groups, and the insights into
11-dimensional strings recently obtained from M-theory. New
chapters discuss such topics as Seiberg-Witten theory, M theory and
duality, and D-branes. Throughout, the author conveys the vitality
of the current research and places readers at its forefront.
Several chapters reviewing the fundamentals of string theory,
making the presentation of the material self-contained while
keeping overlap with the earlier book to a minimum.
