Johnson[electronic resource]1st ed.Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2023.1 online resource (xxiii, 548 pages) illustrations (black and white), digital, PDF file(s)Cambridge monographs on mathematical physicsAlso issued in print: 2023.9781009401364 Includes bibliographical references and index.D-branes represent a key theoretical tool in the understanding of strongly coupled superstring theory and M-theory. They have led to many striking discoveries, including the precise microphysics underlying the thermodynamic behaviour of certain black holes, and remarkable holographic dualities between large-N gauge theories and gravity. This book provides a self-contained introduction to the technology of D-branes, presenting the recent developments and ideas in a pedagogical manner. It is suitable for use as a textbook in graduate courses on modern string theory and theoretical particle physics, and will also be an indispensable reference for seasoned practitioners. The introductory material is developed by first starting with the main features of string theory needed to get rapidly to grips with D-branes, uncovering further aspects while actually working with D-branes. Many advanced applications are covered, with discussions of open problems which could form the basis for other avenues of research.Cambridge monographs on mathematical physics.D-branesSuperstring theoriesD-branes.Superstring theories.539.7258Johnson Clifford V(Clifford Victor),1968-84706StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910734331503321D-branes2616544UNINA
