The text starts with a very brief introduction to string theory, first working out its massless spectrum and showing how the condition on the number of dimensions arises. It then dwells on the different possible internal manifolds, from the simplest to the most relevant phenomenologically, thereby showing that the most elegant description is through an extension of ordinary Riemannian geometry termed generalized geometry, which was first introduced by Hitchin. Last but not least, the authors review open problems in string phenomenology, such as the embedding of the Standard Model and obtaining de Sitter solutions. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5423 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences. 676 $a530 700 $aGraņa$b Mariana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0825028 702 $aTriendl$b Hagen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741181903321 996 $aString Theory Compactifications$93554183 997 $aUNINA
