Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
Gravity and Strings
Self-contained and comprehensive, this definitive new edition of Gravity and Strings is a unique resource for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics. From basic differential geometry through to the construction and study of black-hole and black-brane solutions in quantum gravity - via all the intermediate stages - this book provides a complete overview of the intersection of gravity, supergravity, and superstrings. Now fully revised, this second edition covers an extensive array of topics, including new material on non-linear electric-magnetic duality, the electric-tensor formalism, matter-coupled supergravity, supersymmetric solutions, the geometries of scalar manifolds appearing in 4- and 5-dimensional supergravities, and much more. Covering reviews of important solutions and numerous solution-generating techniques, and accompanied by an exhaustive index and bibliography, this is an exceptional reference work.

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

C'est Pas Vrai/It's not true !
And everyone is giving its truth , 100 000 truths
Everyone is swearing , claiming , bawling
It comes from everywhere , but it's not true
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
We are swearing , claiming , bawling , It comes from everywhere
Radios , loudspeakers , thousands of channels on TV
Rumours are spreading . True , very true, absolutely true
Verified , it's official , certified
Yet ... It's not true ! Love last only a certain time
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
And everyone is giving its truth , 100 000 truths
We are swearing , claiming , bawling , It comes from everywhere
Radios , loudspeakers , thousands of channels on TV
Rumours are spreading . True , very true, absolutely true
Verified , it's official , certified
Informations and rumours
Diplomas won't protect you from unemployment | It's not true !
Cows are herbivores | It's not true !
You got to be a killer to succeed | It's not true !
Normally , it should work | It's not true !
Don't leave , an agent will cope your problem | It's not true !
Without cronyism , you will never succeed | It's not true !
Moliere died on stage | It's not true !
We will never sell this player | It's not true !
There is no moral sense nowadays | It's not true !
It's just a mile away, it'll only take you 5 minutes | It's not true !
I am so sorry | It's not true !
It's not true , it's not true !

Radios , loudspeakers , thousands of channels on TV
Rumours are spreading . True , very true, absolutely true
Verified , it's official , certified from a safe source
It's not true , it's not true !
In this world , you've the winners on one side and the losers on the other
National-socialism will be a thousand years lasting peace
The universities don't apply a selection among newbies
Of the past let us make a clean slate
There is more and more racism
I love you , you are really wonderful
That's my choice
Long live the Pravda !
They are victims of the society
Don't worry , I swear I will call you
They are all alike
It was better and easier , in the past
Divorced with one , married with a thousand ( i.e = A common non-sense used in French to cheer up those who lost their women )
