Gravity and Strings

Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics

by Tomas Ortín, Tom?'s Ort N.

One appealing feature of string theory is that it provides a theory of quantum gravity. This volume is a self-contained, pedagogical exposition of this theory, its foundations and its basic results. Due to the large amount of background material, actions, solutions and bibliography contained within, this unique book can be used as a reference for research as well as a complementary textbook in graduate courses on gravity, supergravity and string theory.

Fantástico el capítulo sobre heterotic toroidal compactifications. Un grande el Tomás, aunque use una notación _poco ortodoxa_.

It has been so long ! ( i.e = since the last time we met )
You hadn't changed at all ! ( i.e = since the last time we met )
No one can leave his neighborhood
It was very good !
I am not voting anymore
The politicians are all corrupted
Everything is getting worse
That is because of capitalism
I will give it back to you
That is because of the destiny
Like father, like son
A woman can only be a whore or a good mum
She is my love forever
It fits you very good

And everyone is giving its truth , 100 000 truths

What a fabulous party !
You're too good for me
We are not the same (i.e = we are in a more difficult situation )
Call me if you want to talk about it
Come whenever you want
It's inevitable , one day you will be tired ( i.e = Of her )
I will not resign , I swear
Yes , this cream will erase your striae
One will always pay for his faults
I can stop it whenever I want to
To each one its turn
I am doing what I can do
