In string theory, a four-dimensional theory that unifies quantum mechanics and gravity is obtained automatically if one posits that the additional dimensions ...

This course requires knowledge of quantum mechanics. If you know about the har- monic oscillator, fermions and spin, you should be good. We also require some ...
INTRODUCTION TO STRING THEORY∗ version 14-05-04. Gerard 't Hooft. Institute ... String theory does produce interactions between strings. We have seen in ...
String theory started out as a theory to explain particles, such as hadrons, as the different higher vibrational modes of a string. In most current formula ...
As we explained in section 2, boundary conditions in string theory are given by submanifolds in the target manifold where the endpoints of the string can ...
The first four chapters introduce the central ideas of string theory, the tools of conformal field theory and of the Polyakov path integral, and the covariant ...
Here, we discuss two examples for the generation of such hierarchies that cannot be explained in purely four-dimensional quantum field theory.
The purpose of this article is to explain some of the unusual features of relativistic strings and to show one way in which string theory may describe the ...
We can view e as an independent ”metric” on the worldline of the particle, and edτ ↔ dˆτ. That looks very promising: as we wished, we get rid of the square root ...
String theory is an extension of quantum field theory which includes gravity and provides a framework for constructing models in particle physics and cosmology.
String theory is one of the most active branches of theoretical physics, and has the potential to provide a unified description of all known particles and ...
Briefly, the claim of string theory is that the fundamental objects that make up all matter are not particles, but strings. Strings are like little rubber bands ...
The attempt to introduce into consideration one-dimensional, extended objects that are called strings serves as the key idea of this theory. Here the ...
String theory is the name given to several models of fundamental physics whose sig- nature concept is that the elementary particles and force carriers from ...
Many of the advances in string theory have been generated by the discovery of new duality symmetries connecting what were once thought to be ...
