Since its conception in the 1960s, string theory has been hailed as one of the most promising routes we have to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. This book provides a concise introduction to string theory, explaining central concepts and mathematical tools and covering recent developments in physics, including compactifications and gauge/string dualities. With string theory being a multidisciplinary field interfacing with high-energy physics, mathematics, and quantum field theory, this book is ideal for both students with no previous knowledge of the field and scholars from other disciplines who are looking for an introduction to basic concepts.

"A systematic introduction to string theory that brings the reader to the forefront of contemporary developments in the field, written from an entirely modern perspective. The book covers an amazingly large number of topics with due attention to detail and logical rigour. Perfect book for first reading in string theory that can also be used as a reference by its practitioners." Konstantin Zarembo, Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics.
"This book successfully captures the essence of string theory that every theoretical physicist should know. I would like to use it in my next course on string theory at Caltech !" Hirosi Oguri, California Institute of Technology.

Biographie de Volker Schomerus

Volker Schomerus holds a joint position as Senior Researcher in the DESY Theory Group and Professor of Mathematical Physics at Universität Hamburg. His work focuses on string theory at the interface of high-energy physics, mathematics, and statistical physics, for which he has received several distinctions, including the Guy-Lussac-Humboldt award in 2010. He is also co-author of the monograph Boundary Conformal Field Theory and the World-Sheet Approach to D-Branes (Cambridge, 2013).
