Strings, Conformal Fields, and Topology: An Introduction (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics) by Michio Kaku (PDF)

Description

Following on the foundations laid in his earlier book “Introduction to Superstrings”, Professor Kaku discusses such topics as the classification of conformal string theories, the non-polynomial closed string field theory, matrix models, and topological field theory. The presentation of the material is self-contained, and several chapters review material expounded in the earlier book. This book provides students with an understanding of the main areas of current progress in string theory, placing the reader at the forefront of current research.

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews:”…because of its wide range in topics, it becomes extremely handy as a ‘reference manual’…Kaku’s book covers most of the ‘hot topics’ from the period 1985 through 1996 in a concise but still quite complete way, it fulfills this task in a superb way.” Physicalia”¿ A comprehensive survey of essentially all recent research undertaken in string theory and related fields¿ the author¿s ability to present such an enormous variety of material is astonishing, resulting in a book that is up-to-date and thorough.” Physics Today

⭐my husband loves it, thank you.

⭐I’m someone who almost never lets go of a physics book, this is one of the few exceptions. I believe I left it in a common area with a “Free” sign on it. The list of topics covered appears impressive, but once you get into it you quickly realize that the author simply grabbed a bunch of equations from the original papers, mixed up the notation and added his own errors and typos, while subtracting the insights of the original authors. It might have some value simply as a bibliography, if it were not so hopelessly out of date. I should probably just let it fade away in peace, but I’m still bitter that I wasted money on this con job of a book.
