This book offers a concise and pedagogical introduction to string theory, making it accessible to graduate students in physics and mathematics with a basic background in particle theory and quantum field theory. It focuses on explaining key concepts such as bosonic strings, D-branes, supersymmetry, and superstrings, and clarifying the relationship between particles, fields, and strings. The book also discusses important ideas underpinning current research, including partition functions, compactification, gauge symmetries, and T-duality, from both the world-sheet (conformal field theory) and space-time (effective field theory) perspectives.
Ideal for self-study or a one-semester graduate course, A Short Introduction to String Theory includes examples and homework problems to develop understanding, with fully worked solutions available to instructors. The book is a valuable resource for students studying string theory and provides a solid foundation for further exploration of this complex and fascinating field.
