Further chapters deal with quantum gravity and D-brane geometry. Black hole mechanics and cosmology are treated too, as well as the AdS-CFT correspondence. The book is a comprehensive introduction to the recent developments in string\/M-theory and quantum gravity. It addresses graduate students in physics and astrophysics.\u003c\/p\u003e Supergravity.- Supersymmetric Gauge Theories.- An Introduction to Duality Symmetries in String Theory.- Les Houches Lectures on Large N Field Theories and Gravity.- D-branes on the Conifold and N = 1 Gauge\/Gravity Dualities.- De Sitter Space.- String Compactification with N = 1 Supersymmetry.- Lectures on Open Strings, and Noncommutative Gauge Theories.- Condensates near the Argyres-Douglas Point in SU(2) Gauge Theory with Broken N = 2 Supersymmetry.- Quantum Field Theory with Extra Dimensions.- Special Holonomy Spaces and M-Theory.- Four Dimensional Non-Critical Strings.- U-Opportunities: Why is Ten Equal to Ten?.- Exact Answers to Approximate Questions - Noncommutative dipoles, Open Wilson Lines and UV-IR Duality.- Open-String Models With Broken Supersymmetry.- On A Field Theory of Open Strings, Tachyon Condensation and Closed Strings.- Exceptional Magic.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763847803115,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":402.84,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783540002765","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
