Supersymmetry, strings and branes are believed to be the essential
ingredients in a single unified consistent theory of physics. This
book gives a detailed, step-by-step introduction to the theoretical
foundations required for research in strings and branes. After a
study of the different formulations of the bosonic and
supersymmetric point particles, the classical and quantum bosonic
and supersymmetric string theories are presented. This book
includes accounts of brane dynamics and D-branes and the T, S and U
duality symmetries of string theory. The historical derivation of
string theory is given as well as the sum over the world-sheet
approach to the interacting string. More advanced topics include
string field theory and Kac-Moody symmetries. The book contains
pedagogical accounts of conformal quantum field theory,
supergravity theories, Clifford algebras and spinors, and Lie
algebras. It is essential reading for graduate students and
researchers wanting to learn strings and branes.
