Description for Topology, C*-algebras, and String Duality
Paperback. Based on CBMS lectures given at Texas Christian University, this book describes some of the interplay between string dualities and topology and operator algebras. It shows how several seemingly disparate subjects are closely linked with one another. It gives readers an overview of some areas of research. Series: CBMS Regional Conference Series in Mathematics. Num Pages: 110 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBF; PBP; PHU. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Weight in Grams: 235.
String theory is the leading candidate for a physical theory that combines all the fundamental forces of nature, as well as the principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, into a mathematically elegant whole. The mathematical tools used by string theorists are highly sophisticated, and cover many areas of mathematics. As with the birth of quantum theory in the early 20th century, the mathematics has benefited at least as much as the physics from the collaboration. In this book, based on CBMS lectures given at Texas Christian University, Rosenberg describes some of the most recent interplay between string dualities and topology ... Read more
