书籍简介

25年前，迈克尔·格林、约翰·施瓦茨和爱德华·维滕写了两卷关于弦理论的书。这两卷书是在这一学科迅速发展的时期出版的，对一代学生和研究人员产生了很大的影响。

尽管此后该领域取得了巨大的进步，但这两卷书中对超弦理论基础的系统阐述在今天仍与出版时一样有意义。作为超弦的介绍，卷一从玻色弦的基本处理开始，然后描述了额外自由度的纳入：导致超对称性的费米子自由度和导致规整相互作用的内部量子数。此外，还详细讨论了树状近似散射振幅的评估。本书有一个新的序言，根据近期的进展来设定工作的背景，对于广义相对论和基本粒子理论的研究生和研究人员来说是非常宝贵的。

Twenty-five years ago, Michael Green, John Schwarz, and Edward Witten wrote two volumes on string theory. Published during a period of rapid progress in this subject, these volumes were highly influential for a generation of students and researchers. Despite the immense progress that has been made in the field since then, the systematic exposition of the foundations of superstring theory presented in these volumes is just as relevant today as when first published. A self-contained introduction to superstrings, Volume 1 begins with an elementary treatment of the bosonic string, before describing the incorporation of additional degrees of freedom: fermionic degrees of freedom leading to supersymmetry and internal quantum numbers leading to gauge interactions. A detailed discussion of the evaluation of tree-approximation scattering amplitudes is also given. Featuring a new preface setting the work in context in light of recent advances, this book is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in general relativity and elementary particle theory.
