string theory fundamentals

String theory is a perturbative theory of quantum gravity. Its loop diagrams are free of UV di- vergences which can be intuitively understood as follows: ...

quantum information and more. There are several reasons for this. First, string theory is capable of generating a vast number of quantum field theories (QFTs) in various dimensions. There are five types of string theories - Type I, IIA, IIB, Heterotic SO(32), and E8 × E8 - and M-theory is the limit of large dilaton expectation va

The notes have long been out of print, but over the years we had continuous positive feedback from students, who found the book helpful in their attempt to enter string theory. To make the book useful for a new generation of string theorists required a revision and a substantial extension.

Explicitly, we will find: Bosonic string: D = 26 (unfortunately, the 26d QFT has an unstable vacuum) Superstring: D = 10 (more or less unique 10d QFT – a 10d “supergravity theory”). To describe our world, we need to “compactify” 6 of the 10 dimensions.

There are two main motivations for string theory: As an extension ("UV completion") of quantum eld theory, and as a theory of quantum gravity. In this course we will address both aspects, but we will mainly concentrate on the latter.
