Basic Concepts of String Theory (Paperback): Ralph Blumenhagen, Dieter Lust, Stefan Theisen Basic Concepts of String Theory (Paperback)
Ralph Blumenhagen, Dieter Lust, Stefan Theisen
R2,606 Discovery Miles 26 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The purpose of this book is to thoroughly prepare the reader for research in string theory at an intermediate level. As such it is not a compendium of results but intended as textbook in the sense that most of the material is organized in a pedagogical and self-contained fashion. Beyond the basics, a number of more advanced topics are introduced, such as conformal field theory, superstrings and string dualities - the text does not cover applications to black hole physics and cosmology, nor strings theory at finite temperatures. End-of-chapter references have been added to guide the reader wishing to pursue further studies or to start research in well-defined topics covered by this book.

Lectures on String Theory (Paperback, 1989 ed.): Dieter Lust, Stefan Theisen Lectures on String Theory (Paperback, 1989 ed.)
Dieter Lust, Stefan Theisen
R2,751 Discovery Miles 27 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Black Hole Information and Thermodynamics (Paperback, 1st ed. 2019): Dieter Lust, Ward Vleeshouwers Black Hole Information and Thermodynamics (Paperback, 1st ed. 2019)
Dieter Lust, Ward Vleeshouwers
R1,939 Discovery Miles 19 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Based on Prof. Lust's Masters course at the University of Munich, this book begins with a short introduction to general relativity. It then presents black hole solutions, and discusses Penrose diagrams, black hole thermodynamics and entropy, the Unruh effect, Hawking radiation, the black hole information problem, black holes in supergravity and string theory, the black hole microstate counting in string theory, asymptotic symmetries in general relativity, and a particular quantum model for black holes. The book offers an up-to-date summary of all the pertinent questions in this highly active field of physics, and is ideal reading for graduate students and young researchers.

Das beliebte Buch Theoretische Physik wird jetzt erstmalig in korrigierter und erganzter Form in Einzelbanden angeboten. Das ermoeglicht den Studierenden, die handlichen Bande zum Lernen, Aufgabenloesen und zum schnellen Nachschlagen leichter mitnehmen und nutzen zu koennen. Gleichzeitig wird die gesamte theoretische Physik des Bachelorstudiums (und daruber hinaus) in den vier Banden aufeinander abgestimmt prasentiert. Das vorliegende Buch ist der erste Teil der vierbandigen Reihe und deckt den Lehrstoff der Bachelorvorlesung zur Theoretischen Mechanik grosser Universitaten in Deutschland, OEsterreich und der Schweiz moeglichst umfassend ab. Die besondere Starke dieser Reihe liegt darin, den Leser mit einer Vielzahl von didaktischen Elementen beim Lernen zu unterstutzen: -Alle Kapitel werden mit grundsatzlichen Fragen eingeleitet -Wichtige Aussagen, Formeln und Definitionen sind ubersichtlich hervorgehoben -Beispiele regen zum Aktivwerden an -Selbstfragen helfen dem Leser, den behandelten Stoff zu reflektieren -"So geht's weiter"-Abschnitte, beispielsweise uber den Lense-Thirring-Effekt oder Determinismus und Chaos ermoeglichen einen Blick uber den Tellerrand und geben Einblicke in aktuelle Forschung -Anhand ausfuhrlich geloester Aufgaben kann das Gelernte uberpruft und gefestigt werden -Mathematische Boxen sind zum schnellen Nachschlagen herausgehoben -Alle Bande sind durchgehend vierfarbig und mit ubersichtlichen Grafiken gestaltet. Die Autoren haben ihre langjahrige und vielfach hervorragend bewertete Lehrerfahrung in das Werk einfliessen lassen. Daruber hinaus gelingt es ihnen, die Zusammenhange in der Theoretischen Physik auch bandubergreifend klar werden zu lassen. Der Inhalt Die Newton'schen Axiome - Koordinationstransformationen und beschleunigte Bezugssysteme - Systeme von Punktmassen - Starre Koerper - Lagrange-Formalismus und Variationsrechnung - Schwingungen - Hamilton-Formalismus - Kontinuumsmechanik - Spezielle Relativitatstheorie - Relativistische Mechanik
