The organising ideas of most  of these advances are the notion of duality and the physics of higher  dimensional objects or \u003cem\u003ep\u003c\/em\u003e-branes. \u003cbr\u003e  The topics covered in the present volume include duality in field  theory, in particular in supersymmetric field theory and supergravity,  and in string theory. The Seiberg-Witten theory and its recent  developments are also covered in detail. A large fraction of the  volume is devoted to the current state of the art in M-theory, in  particular its underlying superalgebra as well as its connection with  superstring and \u003cem\u003eN\u003c\/em\u003e = 2 strings. The physics of D-branes and its  essential role in the beautiful computation of the black hole entropy  is also carefully covered. Finally, the last two sets of lectures are  devoted to the exciting matrix approach to non-perturbative string  theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401059893\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4730-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 493\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358958579852,"sku":"9789401059893","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401059893.jpg?v=1771510632","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401059893","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
