Pedagogical in character, it introduces modern techniques and concepts, such as conformal and superconformal field theory, Kac-Moody algebras, etc., stressing their relevance and application to string theory rather than the formal aspects. The reader is led from a basic discussion of the classical bosonic string to the construction of four-dimensional heterotic string models, an area of current research. The so-called covariant lattice construction is discussed in detail. Being conceptually very simple, the book serves to exemplify the relevant features of other methods of arriving at four-dimensional string theories. It is also shown how one derives a low-energy field theory from string theory, thereby making contact with conventional point-particle physics. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v346 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 14$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a539.72 700 $aLüst$b Dieter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$062244 702 $aTheisen$b Stefan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910257392403321 996 $aLectures on String Theory$92526082 997 $aUNINA
