Boundary conformal field theory is concerned with a class of two-dimensional quantum field theories which display a rich mathematical structure and have many applications ranging from string theory to condensed matter physics. In particular, the framework allows discussion of strings and branes directly at the quantum level. Written by internationally renowned experts, this comprehensive introduction to boundary conformal field theory reaches from theoretical foundations to recent developments, with an emphasis on the algebraic treatment of string backgrounds. Topics covered include basic concepts in conformal field theory with and without boundaries, the mathematical description of strings and D-branes, and the geometry of strongly curved spacetime. The book offers insights into string geometry that go beyond classical notions. Describing the theory from basic concepts, and providing numerous worked examples from conformal field theory and string theory, this reference is of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics and mathematics.

Quantum physics is based on four fundamental interactions of electromagnetic, weak, gravitational and strong forces. All the interactions are expressed in terms of fermion and boson fields which can describe the quantum states of electrons, nucleons and photons in atoms or nuclei. Correct behaviors of these particles can now be described by the basic field theory terminology, and this textbook explains, for the first time, quantum field theory in a unifying method. At present, modern quantum theory is at a critical junction between different theories, and this textbook presents a clear descrip

This volume discusses fundamental aspects of quantum field theory and of gauge theories, with attention to mathematical consistency. Basic issues of the standard model of elementary particles (Higgs mechanism and chiral symmetry breaking in quantum chromodynamics) are treated without relying on the perturbative expansion and on instanton calculus.

This book discusses the main concepts of the Standard Model of elementary particles in a compact and straightforward way. The work illustrates the unity of modern theoretical physics by combining approaches and concepts of the quantum field theory and modern condensed matter theory. The inductive approach allows a deep understanding of ideas and methods used for solving problems in this field.

The book Ferromagnetic Resonance - Theory and Applications highlights recent advances at the interface between the science and technology of nanostructures (bilayer-multilayers, nanowires, spinel type nanoparticles, photonic crystal, etc.). The electromagnetic resonance techniques have become a central field of modern scientific and technical activity. The modern technical applications of ferromagnetic resonance are in spintronics, electronics, space navigation, remote-control equipment, radio engineering, electronic computers, maritime, electrical engineering, instrument-making and geophysical methods of prospecting.

Der aktuelle Wissensstand der Kern- und Elementarteilchenphysik hat eine wechselvolle Entstehungsgeschichte, oft gekennzeichnet durch schockierend neue Begriffsbildungen, die sich bis heute auch den Physik-Studierenden nur unter Mühen erschließen. Dieses Buch nutzt jene kontroverse und zugleich lehrreiche Entwicklung, um den Lernenden einen besseren Zugang zu den neuen Konzepten zu ermöglichen. Es macht verständlich, wie das physikalische Bild von den kleinsten Teilchen heute aussieht und warum es so und nicht anders entstanden ist: Beginnend beim Nachweis der Atome bis hin zum derzeitigen Standard-Modell der Elementarteilchenphysik und dem Higgs-Boson. So gewinnen Lesende einen Eindruck jenes großen Gebietes, das im ständigen Wechselspiel zwischen etablierten theoretischen Modellen, bestätigenden oder widersprechenden experimentellen Befunden, zuweilen umstrittenen neuen Begriffsbildungen und verbesserten Experimenten entstanden ist – ein Prozess, der sicher auch künftig weitergeht. Leitschnur der Darstellung ist eine auch im Detail möglichst nachvollziehbare Argumentation. Physik-Studierende vor ihrem B.Sc.-Abschluss werden sich so Kenntnisse über die subatomare Physik aneignen können, die zum Allgemeinwissen ihres Fachs zählen. Auch für Physik-Lehrende an Schulen oder Hochschulen dürfte diese neue Darstellung interessant sein. Die zweite Auflage wurde auf den aktuellsten Wissenstand gebracht, insbesondere sind erste Ergebnisse des LHC eingeflossen. Der Autor Prof. Dr. Jörn Bleck-Neuhaus lernte Physik in Göttingen und Berlin und ist seit 1973 Professor für Kernphysik an der Universität Bremen. Mit besonderem Augenmerk widmet er sich der Vermittlung von physikalischem Fachwissen einschließlich des Umgangs mit den Schwierigkeiten mit den begrifflichen Grundlagen der Modernen Physik. Zu seiner Berufserfahrung gehören sechs Jahre Aufbau eines Physik-Studiengangs in der „Dritten Welt“. Über die erste Auflage „Der Autor legt besonderes Gewicht auf die begrifflichen Grundlagen und eine sorgfältige und lückenlose Argumentation. … In die Kapitel eingestreut sind Verständnisfragen, die zur Auseinandersetzung mit dem Stoff anregen sollen. Vorausgesetzt werden mathematische Grundkenntnisse der Quantenmechanik. Das Werk ist insbesondere geeignet für Studenten ab dem 5. Semester sowie für Physiklehrende an Schulen und Hochschulen.“ (Michael Mücke, in: ekz-Informationsdienst, 2010, 2010/28).

This book is devoted to the subject of quantum field theory. It is dividedinto two volumes. The first can serve as a textbook on the main techniques and results of quantum field theory, while the second treats more recent developments, in particular the subject of quantum groups and noncommutative geometry, and their interrelation.The first volume is directed at graduate students who want to learn the basic facts about quantum field theory. It begins with a gentle introduction to classical field theory, including the standard model of particle physics, general relativity, and also supergravity

First published in 1963, in East Germany, They Divided the Sky tells the story of a young couple, living in the new, socialist, East Germany, whose relationship is tested to the extreme not only because of the political positions they gradually develop but, very concretely, by the Berlin Wall, which went up on August 13, 1961.
