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. 410 0$aTheoretical and Mathematical Physics,$x1864-5879 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString models 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aMathematical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString models. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Physics. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 676 $a539.7258 700 $aBlumenhagen$b R$g(Ralph),$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0478656 702 $aLüst$b Dieter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aTheisen$b Stefan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736982703321 996 $aBasic Concepts of String Theory$93424570 997 $aUNINA
