內(nèi)容概要

Recent years have brought a revival of work on string theory, which has been a source of fascination since its origins nearly twenty years ago.There seems to be a widely perceived need for a systematic, pedagogical exposition of the present state of knowledge about string theory. We hope that this book will help to meet this need. To give a comprehensive account of such a vast topic as string theory would scarcely be possible,even in two volumes with the length to which these have grown. Indeed,we have had to omit many important subjects, while treating others only sketchily. String field theory is omitted entirely (though the subject of chapter 11 is closely related to light-cone string field theory). Conformal field theory is not developed systematically, though much of the background material needed to understand recent papers on this subject is presented in chapter 3 and elsewhere.

  •   超弦理論,毋庸置疑已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)代物理學(xué)最熱門的前沿之一,格林等人編的這本《超弦理論》具有很高的權(quán)威性。雖然是英文影印版,但對喜好這方面的朋友來說,這本書值得一讀。
  •   期待小于大的統(tǒng)一理論,超弦理論。所有的基本粒子如果都是一條弦那世界是什么樣子。推薦閱讀。
  •   書挺好的 而且是要搞弦論必讀的書吧
  •   沒看 書的質(zhì)量還行 聽說是搞理論的人的經(jīng)典
  •   總算有這方面的書了,但不太看好這個理論,跳躍的過大
  •   內(nèi)容高深,暫時看不懂,以后慢慢理解吧。
  •   學(xué)完P(guān)olchinski再看這本。
  •   此書是witten的大作,世界上能讀通的人,屈指可數(shù)
  •   質(zhì)量很好,英文的,勉強(qiáng)看
  •   大牛經(jīng)典沒得說 可惜學(xué)計(jì)算機(jī)的看不大懂
  •   在劍橋留學(xué)的時候讀過,相當(dāng)不錯!
  •   圖書不錯,最大擁有
  •   很弦
  •   對witten再多的褒揚(yáng)都是不夠充分的。
  •   原版太貴,無奈只好買了這影印版,但字印的不太清晰,內(nèi)容還是不錯的。
  •   還沒看,本人理論基礎(chǔ)差,補(bǔ)一補(bǔ)基礎(chǔ)再看。
  •   就是是英文的。。但是很不錯。。
  •   英文不是很好,但是這本書應(yīng)該不錯,世界圖書出版公司的書應(yīng)該不錯。
  •   超弦終于使物理學(xué)家們的腦袋遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠用了,所以這種書應(yīng)該買。相信上帝一定笑瘋了,螞蟻一樣的人類居然想搞出終極理論,太狂妄了。
  •   這是物理學(xué)的終極圣杯。我相信上帝不會忽視這美妙的理論的
