Description for Basic Concepts of String Theory
Hardcover. This thorough volume is the perfect foundation for intermediate-level research in string theory. Its pedagogic and self-contained structure raises is a step up from results compendia and features more advanced topics including conformal field theory. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 784 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ; PHS; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 164 x 48. Weight in Grams: 1344.
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.

Reviews for Basic Concepts of String Theory
“This is an excellent book on strings with a discussion of confocal and nonconformal strings. … This book is primarily for advanced students with applications to advanced and intermediate studies.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2015) “The book emphasizes techniques of two-dimensional conformal field theory as the basis for perturbative string theory. … the book is a welcome (re-)addition ...
