Tom: request an account

Welcome to the String Theory Wiki! This wiki is aimed at students learning string theory. It lists and reviews useful string theory resources, such as books and review papers. The content was initially based on Alberto Guijosa Hidalgo's [http://www.nuclecu.unam.mx/~alberto/physics/stringrev.html list of string reviews].

A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] is a webpage which users
can edit (like the encyclopedia
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia]). To edit a page,

===books===
[http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8456.html '''String Theory in a nutshell'''] 
by Elias Kiritsis, (Princeton University Press, 2007, [http://users.physics.uoc.gr/~kiritsis/string-book/index.html Errata]) 
This book is an up to date presentation of the main parts of modern string theory, targeting
specialized students and postdocs entering or working in string theory.
It contains also a large set of problems, as well as chapters on black-hole microstate counting, matrix models and an extendent
exposition of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

'''String Theory and M-Theory: A Modern Introduction ''' 
by Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker and John Schwarz (CUP, 2006) 
This is a book that is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the subject of string theory in a modern fashion, with rather rapid discussions of many modern developments including AdS/CFT. As such, it includes a lot of material with relatively less detailed explanation, which serves its purpose as an introduction very well. However, one does need some further readings to completely understand everything this book is trying to say.

'''A First Course in String Theory''' 
by Barton Zwiebach, (CUP, 2003) 
This book is intended for the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. No familiarity with quantum field theory is assumed (although Zwiebach does assume a working knowledge of quantum mechanics). It focuses on the study of single
strings and their interactions, which can be understood in some
detail. Of necessity, however, it is impossible to address many
advanced topics.

'''String Theory''' 
'''Volume 1: An Introduction to the Bosonic String''' 
'''Volume 2: Superstring Theory and Beyond''' 
by Joe Polchinski (two volumes, CUP, 1998, [http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~joep/errata.html errata]) 
This book addresses the discoveries of the
superstring revolutions of the early to mid 1990s, which mark the
beginnings of modern string theory. Volume 1 quantises the
bosonic string and uses this setting to introduce T-duality and
D-branes without the complications of fermions. The first three chapters of volume 2
introduce superstrings, but quickly move beyond. The rest of
the second book provides an introduction to nearly all modern string
topics pre-dating the AdS/CFT duality. In particular, it includes D-branes,
Orbifolds, Black Hole Entropy, and Mirror symmetry. 
Some of the errata were corrected in the reprinting in 2000. 
[http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.4408 A solution manual for Polchinski's "String Theory"] 
by Matthew Headrick (0812.4408 [hep-th], 114 pages)

'''Superstring Theory''' 
'''Volume 1: Introduction''' 
'''Volume 2: Loop Amplitudes, Anomalies and Phenomenology''' 
by Michael Green, John Schwarz and Edward Witten (two volumes, CUP, 1988) 
Volume 1 is the first of a classic two-volume string text by founders in the field. Though there are now many more modern
texts, it containing many details that more recent texts
must skim through to discuss modern topics. Volume 1 is concerned mainly with the free string, though it treats both bosonic and supersymmetric versions. Volume 2 addresses the details of loop
calculations, but also discusses low-energy effective theories (in particular, supergravity) and compactifications (especially on Calabi-Yau manifolds).

'''Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model''' 
by Michael Dine (CUP, 2007)

'''Gravity and Strings''' 
by Tomás Ortín (CUP, 2004)

[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9709062 Introduction to Superstring Theory] 
by E. Kiritsis (Leuven University Press, 1998, hep-th/9709062, 244 pages, 22 figures) 
Also available from the arXiv. Kiritsis provides a pedagogical introduction starting with the point particle and the bosonic string, and
then proceeds through conformal
field theory and the superstring. Advanced topics treated include T- duality, anomalies, compactification and supersymmetry breaking,
loop corrections, and non-perturbative dualities.

'''Lectures on String Theory''' 
by D. Lüst and S. Theisen (Springer-Verlag, 1989) 
This very useful text features a short route to the superstring and includes an excellent treatment of the heterotic string.

'''Quantum Field Theory of Point Particles and Strings''' 
by B. Hatfield (Perseus Publishing, 1998) 
An updated version of Hatfield's 1992 book, the first half quickly reviews quantum field theory while the second introduces the very basics of strings.

'''Gauge fields and Strings''' 
by A. M. Polyakov (Harwood Academic Publishers, 1987) 
This classic work uses a detailed treatment of quantum field theory in terms of first-quantized particles to make a natural transition to the first quantized string. Details of path-integral measures and other fundamentals are well-presented.

'''Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory''' 
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 1999) 
This updated version of an earlier text begins with the basics and, after some development, addresses advanced topics such as compactifications and M-theory. As a one-volume text, it cannot be comprehensive and, as a result, has a rather light discussion of D-branes.

'''Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory''' 
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 2000) 
The intent of this text is to build on ''Introduction to Superstrings and M-theory'', addressing a number of more modern topics and illustrating the relationship to a broad range of related topics.

by Marcus Spradlin, Anastasia Volovich (hep-th/0310033, 46 pages, 4 figures) 
Spradlin and Volovich review the plane-wave limit of AdS/CFT and describe how string field theory calculations of string interactions in 9+1 dimensional plane-wave spacetimes match interactions calculated using N=4 super Yang-Mills gauge theory in a 3+1 conformally flat spacetime. The paper includes an elementary introduction to light-cone string field theory.

[http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8456.html '''String Theory in a nutshell'''] 
by Elias Kiritsis, (Princeton University Press, 2007, [http://users.physics.uoc.gr/~kiritsis/string-book/index.html Errata]) 
This book is an up to date presentation of the main parts of modern string theory, targeting
specialized students and postdocs entering or working in string theory.
It contains also a large set of problems, as well as chapters on black-hole microstate counting, matrix models and an extendent
exposition of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

'''String Theory and M-Theory: A Modern Introduction ''' 
by Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker and John Schwarz (CUP, 2006) 
This is a book that is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the subject of string theory in a modern fashion, with rather rapid discussions of many modern developments including AdS/CFT. As such, it includes a lot of material with relatively less detailed explanation, which serves its purpose as an introduction very well. However, one does need some further readings to completely understand everything this book is trying to say.

'''A First Course in String Theory''' 
by Barton Zwiebach, (CUP, 2003) 
This book is intended for the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. No familiarity with quantum field theory is assumed (although Zwiebach does assume a working knowledge of quantum mechanics). It focuses on the study of single
strings and their interactions, which can be understood in some
detail. Of necessity, however, it is impossible to address many
advanced topics.

'''String Theory''' 
'''Volume 1: An Introduction to the Bosonic String''' 
'''Volume 2: Superstring Theory and Beyond''' 
by Joe Polchinski (two volumes, CUP, 1998, [http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~joep/errata.html errata]) 
This book addresses the discoveries of the
superstring revolutions of the early to mid 1990s, which mark the
beginnings of modern string theory. Volume 1 quantises the
bosonic string and uses this setting to introduce T-duality and
D-branes without the complications of fermions. The first three chapters of volume 2
introduce superstrings, but quickly move beyond. The rest of
the second book provides an introduction to nearly all modern string
topics pre-dating the AdS/CFT duality. In particular, it includes D-branes,
Orbifolds, Black Hole Entropy, and Mirror symmetry. 
Some of the errata were corrected in the reprinting in 2000. 
[http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.4408 A solution manual for Polchinski's "String Theory"] 
by Matthew Headrick (0812.4408 [hep-th], 114 pages)

'''Superstring Theory''' 
'''Volume 1: Introduction''' 
'''Volume 2: Loop Amplitudes, Anomalies and Phenomenology''' 
by Michael Green, John Schwarz and Edward Witten (two volumes, CUP, 1988) 
Volume 1 is the first of a classic two-volume string text by founders in the field. Though there are now many more modern
texts, it containing many details that more recent texts
must skim through to discuss modern topics. Volume 1 is concerned mainly with the free string, though it treats both bosonic and supersymmetric versions. Volume 2 addresses the details of loop
calculations, but also discusses low-energy effective theories (in particular, supergravity) and compactifications (especially on Calabi-Yau manifolds).

'''Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model''' 
by Michael Dine (CUP, 2007)

'''Gravity and Strings''' 
by Tomás Ortín (CUP, 2004)

[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9709062 Introduction to Superstring Theory] 
by E. Kiritsis (Leuven University Press, 1998, hep-th/9709062, 244 pages, 22 figures) 
Also available from the arXiv. Kiritsis provides a pedagogical introduction starting with the point particle and the bosonic string, and
then proceeds through conformal
field theory and the superstring. Advanced topics treated include T- duality, anomalies, compactification and supersymmetry breaking,
loop corrections, and non-perturbative dualities.

'''Lectures on String Theory''' 
by D. Lüst and S. Theisen (Springer-Verlag, 1989) 
This very useful text features a short route to the superstring and includes an excellent treatment of the heterotic string.

'''Quantum Field Theory of Point Particles and Strings''' 
by B. Hatfield (Perseus Publishing, 1998) 
An updated version of Hatfield's 1992 book, the first half quickly reviews quantum field theory while the second introduces the very basics of strings.

'''Gauge fields and Strings''' 
by A. M. Polyakov (Harwood Academic Publishers, 1987) 
This classic work uses a detailed treatment of quantum field theory in terms of first-quantized particles to make a natural transition to the first quantized string. Details of path-integral measures and other fundamentals are well-presented.

'''Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory''' 
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 1999) 
This updated version of an earlier text begins with the basics and, after some development, addresses advanced topics such as compactifications and M-theory. As a one-volume text, it cannot be comprehensive and, as a result, has a rather light discussion of D-branes.

'''Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory''' 
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 2000) 
The intent of this text is to build on ''Introduction to Superstrings and M-theory'', addressing a number of more modern topics and illustrating the relationship to a broad range of related topics.

[http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8456.html '''String Theory in a nutshell'''] 
by Elias Kiritsis, (Princeton University Press, 2007, [http://users.physics.uoc.gr/~kiritsis/string-book/index.html Errata]) 
This book is an up to date presentation of the main parts of modern string theory, targeting
specialized students and postdocs entering or working in string theory.
It contains also a large set of problems, as well as chapters on black-hole microstate counting, matrix models and an extendent
exposition of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

'''String Theory and M-Theory''' 
by Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker and John Schwarz (CUP, 2006)

'''A First Course in String Theory''' 
by Barton Zwiebach, (CUP, 2003) 
This book is intended for the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. No familiarity with quantum field theory is assumed (although Zwiebach does assume a working knowledge of quantum mechanics). It focuses on the study of single
strings and their interactions, which can be understood in some
detail. Of necessity, however, it is impossible to address many
advanced topics.

'''String Theory''' 
'''Volume 1: An Introduction to the Bosonic String''' 
'''Volume 2: Superstring Theory and Beyond''' 
by Joe Polchinski (two volumes, CUP, 1998, [http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~joep/errata.html errata]) 
This book addresses the discoveries of the
superstring revolutions of the early to mid 1990s, which mark the
beginnings of modern string theory. Volume 1 quantises the
bosonic string and uses this setting to introduce T-duality and
D-branes without the complications of fermions. The first three chapters of volume 2
introduce superstrings, but quickly move beyond. The rest of
the second book provides an introduction to nearly all modern string
topics pre-dating the AdS/CFT duality. In particular, it includes D-branes,
Orbifolds, Black Hole Entropy, and Mirror symmetry. 
Some of the errata were corrected in the reprinting in 2000.

by Matthew Headrick (0812.4408 [hep-th], 114 pages)

'''Superstring Theory''' 
'''Volume 1: Introduction''' 
'''Volume 2: Loop Amplitudes, Anomalies and Phenomenology''' 
by Michael Green, John Schwarz and Edward Witten (two volumes, CUP, 1988) 
Volume 1 is the first of a classic two-volume string text by founders in the field. Though there are now many more modern
texts, it containing many details that more recent texts
must skim through to discuss modern topics. Volume 1 is concerned mainly with the free string, though it treats both bosonic and supersymmetric versions. Volume 2 addresses the details of loop
calculations, but also discusses low-energy effective theories (in particular, supergravity) and compactifications (especially on Calabi-Yau manifolds).

'''Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model'''

'''Gravity and Strings''' 
by Tomás Ortín (CUP, 2004)

[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9709062 Introduction to Superstring Theory] 
by E. Kiritsis (Leuven University Press, 1998, hep-th/9709062, 244 pages, 22 figures) 
Also available from the arXiv. Kiritsis provides a pedagogical introduction starting with the point particle and the bosonic string, and
then proceeds through conformal
field theory and the superstring. Advanced topics treated include T- duality, anomalies, compactification and supersymmetry breaking,
loop corrections, and non-perturbative dualities.

'''Lectures on String Theory''' 
by D. Lüst and S. Theisen (Springer-Verlag, 1989) 
This very useful text features a short route to the superstring and includes an excellent treatment of the heterotic string.

'''Quantum Field Theory of Point Particles and Strings''' 
by B. Hatfield (Perseus Publishing, 1998) 
An updated version of Hatfield's 1992 book, the first half quickly reviews quantum field theory while the second introduces the very basics of strings.

'''Gauge fields and Strings''' 
by A. M. Polyakov (Harwood Academic Publishers, 1987) 
This classic work uses a detailed treatment of quantum field theory in terms of first-quantized particles to make a natural transition to the first quantized string. Details of path-integral measures and other fundamentals are well-presented.

'''Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory''' 
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 1999) 
This updated version of an earlier text begins with the basics and, after some development, addresses advanced topics such as compactifications and M-theory. As a one-volume text, it cannot be comprehensive and, as a result, has a rather light discussion of D-branes.

'''Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory''' 
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 2000) 
The intent of this text is to build on ''Introduction to Superstrings and M-theory'', addressing a number of more modern topics and illustrating the relationship to a broad range of related topics.

Tom: Blackfolds

===reviews===
This page contains reviews on Black holes in higher dimensional (D>4) space-times. In addition to black-hole horizons with topology S^n, there are possibilities of having other horizon topologies (like S^2\times S^1 -- the so called black rings) in D>4; this is prevented in D=4 where the black hole's horizon can only have the topology of S^2.
