【内容简介】

超弦和M理论是现代物理学中最有趣最活跃的研究课题之一。该问题比较困难同时也充满争议，一些人称之为“终极理论”，这是因为超弦理论有可能解决困扰人们多年的难题，即统一二十世纪最伟大的两个理论：广义相对论和量子场论。《超弦和M理论导论（第2版）》全面细致地讲解超弦理论和该领域的最新研究进展，内容包括四维超弦，Kac-Moody代数，Teichmuller空间和Calabi-Yau流形，M理论和D膜，对偶和BPS关系，矩阵模型等，可以作为研究生教材，同时对研究人员也有参考价值。作者首先简要介绍了点粒子理论，然后利用费曼路径积分详细讨论超弦理论。超弦研究需要很多数学工具，书中分别作了介绍，如指标定理，同调论和Kahler流形等。在第二版中，作者对内容做了整体修订，并添加了M理论的三个新章节。阅读《超弦和M理论导论（第2版）》需要量子力学和相对论的基本知识。
读者对象：理论物理、高能物理、场论和弦论等专业的高年级本科生、研究生和相关专业的科研人员。
