Book
A first course in string theory
TL;DR: Zwiebach as discussed by the authors presents the main concepts of string theory in a concrete and physical way to develop intuition before formalism, often through simplified and illustrative examples, and introduces superstrings.
MonographDOI
A first course in string theory
TL;DR: This chapter discusses string thermodynamics and black holes, string interactions and Riemann surfaces, and loop amplitudes in string theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spacetime of double field theory: Review, remarks, and outlook
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review double field theory with emphasis on the doubled spacetime and its generalized coordinate transformations, which unify diffeomorphisms and b-field gauge transformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics with Infinitely Many Time Derivatives and Rolling Tachyons
Nicolas Moeller,Barton Zwiebach +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the energy-momentum tensor tensor is calculated and time dependent solutions representing tachyons rolling on the p-adic string theory potentials are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unification of type-II strings and T duality.
TL;DR: A formulation that doubles the space-time coordinates in order to realize the T-duality group O(10,10) geometrically unifies the type-II theories in that each of them is obtained for a particular subspace of the doubled space.
