This book is the essential new introduction to modern string theory, by one of the world's authorities on the subject. Concise, clearly presented, and uptodate, String Theory in a Nutshell brings together the best understood and most important aspects of a theory that has been evolving since the early 1980s. A core model of physics that substitutes onedimensional extended 'strings' for zerodimensional pointlike particles (as in quantum field theory), string theory has been the leading candidate for a theory that would successfully unify all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity.Starting with the basic definitions of the theory, Elias Kiritsis guides readers through classic and modern topics. In particular, he treats perturbative string theory and its Conformal Field Theory (CFT) tools in detail while also developing nonperturbative aspects and exploring the unity of string interactions. He presents recent topics including black holes, their microscopic entropy, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. He also describes matrix model tools for string theory. In all, the book contains nearly five hundred exercises for the graduatelevel student, and works as a selfcontained and detailed guide to the literature.String Theory in a Nutshell is the staple onevolume reference on the subject not only for students and researchers of theoretical highenergy physics, but also for mathematicians and physicists specializing in theoretical cosmology and QCD.
