Superstring Theory : 25th Anniversary Edition Hardback

Part of the Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics series
Hardback
Description
Twenty-five years ago, Michael Green, John Schwarz, and Edward Witten wrote two volumes on string theory.
Published during a period of rapid progress in this subject, these volumes were highly influential for a generation of students and researchers. Despite the immense progress that has been made in the field since then, the systematic exposition of the foundations of superstring theory presented in these volumes is just as relevant today as when first published.
A self-contained introduction to superstrings, Volume 1 begins with an elementary treatment of the bosonic string, before describing the incorporation of additional degrees of freedom: fermionic degrees of freedom leading to supersymmetry and internal quantum numbers leading to gauge interactions.
A detailed discussion of the evaluation of tree-approximation scattering amplitudes is also given.
Featuring a new preface setting the work in context in light of recent advances, this book is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in general relativity and elementary particle theory.
