The initial course of strings theory. 3rd edition, fixed. Zvibakh B.

The “initial course of strings theory” Barton Zvibach is unique in style and form of presentation. It will allow novice researchers to avoid a sense of depression and despair, which often accompany studying traditional folios - after all, it is far from a secret that string theory has a reputation as an incredibly complex science. On each page of the book, the author should firmly be the goal - to make the theory of string available to any physics who wants to expand their knowledge in this area. The book covers almost the entire range of strings theory. The presentation is carried out in a closed form, so that the reader for understanding is enough only firm knowledge of the foundations of mechanics and some elements of quantum theory. The author seeks to develop intuition among readers, reinforcing a formal presentation of numerous illustrative examples. The monograph reflects the current state of theory. To this end, the second edition includes pressing issues, such as ADS/KPP-consumption, strings on orbifols, stabilization of modules, landscape of strings theory and some others. A bright distinguishing feature of the book is the presence of a large number of tasks and exercises-emantins (only about 300), both a training nature and requiring thoughts and a creative approach. By the completeness of the presentation of the actual material and the nature of its presentation, the book has no analogues among monographs on string theory. She, without a doubt, will be useful to students, graduate students, teachers of relevant disciplines, as well as specialists in the field of theoretical and mathematical physics.
