It is intended as a textbook in the sense that, starting from the basics, the material is presented in a pedagogical and self-contained fashion. The emphasis is on the world-sheet perspective of closed strings and of open strings ending on D-branes, where two-dimensional conformal field theory is the main tool. Compactifications of string theory, with and without fluxes, and string dualities are also discussed from the space-time point of view, i.e. in geometric language. End-of-chapter references have been added to guide the reader intending to pursue further studies or to start research in the topics covered by this book.Theoretical and Mathematical Physics,1864-5879Quantum field theoryString modelsMathematical physicsPhysicsQuantum theoryParticles (Nuclear physics)Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Quantum field theory.String models.Mathematical physics.Physics.Quantum theory.Particles (Nuclear physics)Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.Mathematical Physics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Quantum Physics.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.539.7258Blumenhagen Ralphauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut478656Lüst Dieterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTheisen Stefanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910736982703321Basic Concepts of String Theory3424570UNINA
