It introduces Conformal Field Theory at a basic level, Kac-Moody algebras, one-loop partition functions, Superconformal Field Theories, Gepner Models and Boundary Conformal Field Theory. Eventually, the concept of orientifold constructions is explained in detail for the example of the bosonic string. In providing many detailed CFT calculations, this book is ideal for students and scientists intending to become acquainted with CFT techniques relevant for string theory but also for students and non-specialists from related fields. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v779 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aGravitation 606 $aString theory 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 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 610 0$aConformal invariants 610 0$aString models 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aString theory. 615 14$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 676 $a530.14 686 $aUD 8220$2rvk 686 $a*81-01$2msc 686 $a33.16$2bcl 686 $a33.23$2bcl 686 $a33.24$2bcl 686 $a33.50$2bcl 686 $a81R10$2msc 686 $a81T30$2msc 686 $a81T40$2msc 686 $a81T60$2msc 700 $aBlumenhagen$b Ralph$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0478656 702 $aPlauschinn$b Erik$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466697603316 996 $aIntroduction to conformal field theory$91120708 997 $aUNISA
