Superstrings and M-theory: provocative and controversial, but unarguably one of the most interesting and active areas of research in current physics. Called by some, "the theory of everything," superstrings may solve a problem that has eluded physicists for the past 50 years, the final unification of the two great theories of the twentieth century, general relativity and quantum field theory. Now, here is a thoroughly revised, second edition of a course-tested comprehensive introductory graduate text on superstrings which stresses the most current areas of interest, not covered in other presen

This volume contains papers presented at the Nuffield Workshop on supersymmetry and its applications held at Cambridge in the summer of 1985 and attended by many of the leading experts in the field. In physical terms, supersymmetry is a symmetry or gauge invariance which connects bosons (particles with integer spin) with fermions (particles with half integer spin). The study of supersymmetry has led to the construction of Yang-Mills theories, which are the first field theories to be free of the divergences that usually occur in quantum theories, with an infinite number of degrees of freedom.

There is an ill-concealed skeleton in the closet of physics: "As they are currently formulated, general relativity and quantum mechanics cannot both be right." Each is exceedingly accurate in its field: general relativity explains the behavior of the universe at large scales, while quantum mechanics describes the behavior of subatomic particles. Yet the theories collide horribly under extreme conditions such as black holes or times close to the big bang. Brian Greene, a specialist in quantum field theory, believes that the two pillars of physics can be reconciled in superstring theory, a theor

Superstring theory and its successor, M-theory, hold promises of a deeper understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics, the unification of the four fundamental forces, the quantum theory of gravity, the mysteries of quantum black holes, Big Bang cosmology and, ultimately, their complete synthesis in a final theory of physics. This volume records the proceedings of the major annual international conference on the subject, "Strings 2000", which involved 42 talks by the world’s leading experts on string theory and M-theory. It should be of interest not only to researchers in the

Eine der paradoxen Feststellungen der modernen Physik lautet: "In ihrer momentanen Formulierung ist es nicht m�glich, dass die allgemeine Relativit�tstheorie und die Quantenmechanik richtig sind". Beide sind in ihrem jeweiligen Bereich �beraus pr�zise: Die Relativit�tstheorie erkl�rt das Verhalten des Universums im gro�en Ma�stab, w�hrend die Quantenmechanik das Verhalten subatomarer Teilchen beschreibt. Unter extremen Bedingungen wie Schwarzen L�chern kollidieren beide Theorien allerdings. Brian Greene, ein Spezialist in der Quantentheorie, glaubt, dass beide Pfeiler der Physik in der Supers
