Matrix Models of String Theory (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Beginning with a systematic review of the standard exposition of string theory, which is required for a proper understanding of matrix models of string theory, this book proceeds to provide a comprehensive presentation of matrix models of string theory and their areas of applications.

The core of the work commences with an introduction to advanced string theory (T-duality and D-branes in particular) and proceeds to describe the BFSS matrix quantum mechanics, aka M-(atrix) theory and the DVV matrix gauge theory, or matrix string theory, and their physics; the main applications of which are the black-hole/black-string (confinement-deconfinement) phase transition, the black hole information loss paradox and checks of the gauge/gravity duality. The IKKT matrix model concludes this part, including applications in emergent cosmology from the Lorentzian IKKT matrix model and noncommutative/matrix emergent gravity.

Supplemented with exercises and an appendix on Monte Carlo algorithms and methods used for matrix models of string theory, this work provides both a valuable self-study guide for postgraduate students and a comprehensive review and reference guide for researchers.

Autorenporträt

Badis Ydri-currently a professor of theoretical particle physics, teaching at the Institute of Physics, Badji Mokhtar Annaba University, Algeria-received his PhD from Syracuse University, New York, USA and in 2011 his Habilitation from Annaba University, Annaba, Algeria. Professor Ydri is also a research associate at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Dublin, Ireland, and a regular ICTP associate at the Abdus Salam Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. His post-doctoral experience comprises a Marie Curie fellowship at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany, and a Hamilton fellowship at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. His current research directions include: the gauge/gravity duality; the renormalization group method in matrix and noncommutative field theories; non-commutative and matrix field theory; quantum gravity as emergent geometry, emergent gravity and emergent cosmology from matrix models.
