III. Classical And Quantized Field Theory

  • 381 Accesses

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1251)

Abstract

We review the evolution of the second-quantized superstring, from its birth as a theory of the hadron bootstrap to its present status as a candidate theory of Quantum Gravitational Dynamics (QGD) and Super-unification.

Keywords

  • Quantum Gravity
  • Vertex Operator
  • Open String
  • Heterotic String
  • Closed String

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
