Why study string theory? String theory is an attempt to quantise gravity and unite it with the other fundamental forces of nature. Abstract: this set of notes is based on the course “ introduction to string theory” which was taught by prof. We have also drawn on some ideas from the books string theory and m- theory ( becker, becker and schwarz), introduction to string theory ( polchinski),. Masters level) students. String theory paul k.
This course gives an introduction to the basics of string theory. It purports to be an all- encompassing theory of the universe, unifying the forces of nature, including gravity, in a single quantum mechanical framework. David tong: lectures on string theory these lecture notes provide a detailed introduction to the bosonic string and conformal field theory, aimed at " part iii" ( i. Kostas skenderis in the spring of at the university of amsterdam. Uk abstract: part iii course notes. Before strings, we had field theory: it was believed that the building blocks of the universe are “ fundamental particles” like electrons, photons, gravitons, and quarks ( where “ fundamental” means that they have no internal structure and can be described as zero- dimensional points). Individual sections can be downloaded below. The full set of lectures notes can be downloaded here and weigh in at around 210 pages. The premise of string theory is that, at the fundamental level, matter does not consist of point- particles but rather of tiny loops of string. It combines many interesting topics of ( quantum) eld theory in two and higher dimensions.

String theory is an ambitious project.
