Strings, Branes and Dualities [E-Book] / edited by Laurent Baulieu, Philippe Di Francesco, Michael Douglas, Vladimir Kazakov, Marco Picco, Paul Windey.
As recent developments have shown, supersymmetric quantum field theory and string theory are intimately related, with advances in one area often shedding light on the other. The organising ideas of most of these advances are the notion of duality and the physics of higher dimensional objects or p-br...

"name" and "number" keys or a flat string containing only the series
