Note publique d'information : The basic idea, simple and revolutionary at the same time, to replace the concept
of a point particle with a one-dimensional string, has opened up a whole new field
of research. Even today, four decades later, its multifaceted consequences are still
not fully conceivable.Up to now string theory has offered a new way to view particles
as different excitations of the same fundamental object. It has celebrated success
in discovering the graviton in its spectrum, and it has naturally led scientists to
posit space-times with more than four dimensions—which in turn has triggered numerous
interesting developments in fields as varied as condensed matter physics and pure
mathematics.This book collects pedagogical lectures by leading experts in string theory,
introducing the non-specialist reader to some of the newest developments in the field.
The carefully selected topics are at the cutting edge of research in string theory
and include new developments in topological strings, AdS/CFT dualities, as well as
newly emerging subfields such as doubled field theory and holography in the hydrodynamic
regime.The contributions to this book have been selected and arranged in such a way
as to form a self-contained, graduate level textbook
