World Scientific, 2015. — 448 p. — (Advanced Series on Directions in High Energy Physics 22). — ISBN: 9814602663. The remarkable recent discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider completed the Standard Model of particle physics and has paved the way for understanding the physics which may lie beyond it. String/M theory has emerged as a broad framework for...
Springer, 2023. — 846 p. — (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics). — ISBN 978-3-031-36530-0. Graduate students typically enter into courses on string theory having little to no familiarity with the mathematical background so crucial to the discipline. As such, this book, based on lecture notes, edited and expanded, from the graduate course taught by the author at SISSA and...
CRC Press, 2016. — 256 p. — ISBN: 978-1-4822-4249-2. Physics World's 'Book of the Year' for 2016 An Entertaining and Enlightening Guide to the Who, What, and Why of String Theory, now also available in an updated reflowable electronic format compatible with mobile devices and e-readers.

Springer, 2021. — 424 p. — (Lecture Notes in Physics, 980). — ISBN 978-3-030-65320-0. This textbook provides an introduction to string field theory (SFT). String theory is usually formulated in the worldsheet formalism, which describes a single string (first-quantization). While this approach is intuitive and could be pushed far due to the exceptional properties of...
Basic Books, 2010. — xx+377 p. — ISBN: 978-0-465-02266-3 (EPUB). String theory says we live in a ten-dimensional universe, but that only four are accessible to our everyday senses. According to theorists, the missing six are curled up in bizarre structures known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. In The Shape of Inner Space, Shing-Tung Yau, the man who mathematically proved that these...
