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. Several chapters review the fundamentals of string theory, making the presentation of the material self-contained while keeping overlap with the earlier book to a minimum. This book conveys the vitality of the current research and places readers at its forefront. 38169 15 1 2000 Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory Second Edition (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics) total:6|5:3|4:2|3:1|2:0|1:0| 6 26 17 0 5 0 false false Sun Nov 15 04:34:37 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 04:34:37 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 22 06:36:29 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 06:36:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 20 17:46:31 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 17:46:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 16:38:02 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 16:38:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 13:09:34 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 13:09:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 08 12:02:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 12:02:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 21 21:54:22 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 21:54:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 11 10:24:52 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 09:33:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 03 05:15:27 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 05:15:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 12:15:22 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 12:15:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 11 13:43:35 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 13:43:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 16 12:49:46 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 12:49:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 18 11:51:35 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 11:51:38 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Dec 02 22:45:03 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 22:45:03 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 12 21:02:14 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 21:02:14 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Aug 24 12:52:44 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 12:52:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Apr 03 06:24:06 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 06:24:44 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=38398
