內容簡介

　　 超弦和M理論是現代物理學中有趣活躍的研究課題之一。該問題比較睏難同時也充滿爭議，一些人稱之為“理論”，這是因為超弦理論有可能解決睏擾人們多年的難題，即統一二十世紀偉大的兩個理論：廣義相對論和量子場論。《超弦和M理論導論（第2版）》全麵細緻地講解超弦理論和該領域的新研究進展，內容包括四維超弦，Kac-Moody代數，Teichmuller空間和Calabi-Yau流形，M理論和D膜，對偶和BPS關係，矩陣模型等，可以作為研究生教材，同時對研究人員也有參考價值。作者首先簡要介紹瞭點粒子理論，然後利用費曼路徑積分詳細討論超弦理論。超弦研究需要很多數學工具，書中分彆作瞭介紹，如指標定理，同調論和Kahler流形等。在第二版中，作者對內容做瞭整體修訂，並添加瞭M理論的三個新章節。閱讀《超弦和M理論導論（第2版）》需要量子力學和相對論的基本知識。
讀者對象：理論物理、高能物理、場論和弦論等專業的高年級本科生、研究生和相關專業的科研人員。

精彩書摘

(1) Because we are dealing with a first quantized theory， we have to take the sum over all interacting topologies that are swept out by the string. For the Nambu——Goto string， the precise nature of these topologies is ambiguous and must be specified by hand. However， for the Polyakov form of the action， which contains an independent metric tensor， we can eliminate most of this ambiguity by specifying that we sum over all conformally and modular in equivalent configurations. (These terms will be defined later.) This will become a powerful constraint once we start to derive loops and will determine the function measure uniquely. The measure and the topologies in the Nambu-Goto action， however， are not well defined. (We must point out， however， that this rule of integrating over in equivalent surfaces does not automatically satisfy unitarity. This still must be checked by hand.)
(2) The gauge fixing of weyl invariance for the Polyakov action， although trivial classically， poses problems when we make the transition to quantum mechanics. An anomaly appears when we carefully begin the quantization process. In fact， this conformal anomaly will disappear only in 26
dimensions.

前言/序言

　　Superstring theory (and its latest formulation， M-theory) has emerged as the most promising candidate for a quantum theory of all known interactions. Superstrings apparently solve a problem that has defied solution for the past50 years， namely the unification of the two great fundamental physical theories of the century， quantum field theory and general relativity. Superstring theory introduces an entirely new physical picture into theoretical physics and a new mathematics that has startled even the mathematicians.
　　Ironically， although superstring theory is supposed to provide a unified field theory of the Universe， the theory itself often seems like a confused jumble of folklore， random rules of thumb， and intuitions. This is because the development of superstring theory has been unlike that of any other theory， such as general relativity， which began with a geometry and an action and later evolved into a quantum theory. Superstring theory， by contrast， has been evolving backward for the past 30 years. It has a bizarre history， beginning with the purely accidental discovery of the quantum theory in 1968 by G. Veneziano and M. Suzuki.
　　Thumbing through old mathematics books， they stumbled by chance on the Beta function， written down in the last century by mathematician Leon hard Euler. To their amazement， they discovered that the Beta function satisfied almost all the stringent requireme 超弦和M理論導論（第2版） [Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory 2nd ed] 下載 mobi epub pdf txt 電子書

要想明白宇宙是怎麼迴事，它是如何統一的，必研究的理論和書籍。雖然弦論和超弦論還沒有實驗直接驗證，但理論構造的非常完美。

物理學追求的最高目標是物質的統一和力的統一。被稱為“萬物之理”的弦／M理論是目前公認的理想候選者，是世界物質科學研究的最前沿。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

不足：弦論講得太多 M理論講得太少。
