    About this ebook

    Conformal Invariance and String Theory is an account of the series of lectures held in Summer School regarding Conformal Invariance and String Theory in September 1987. The purpose of the lectures is to present the important problems and results in these two areas of theoretical physics. The text is divided into two major parts. Part I deals with implications of conformal invariance in studying two-dimensional systems. Part II meanwhile presents lectures regarding the advances in string theory and other related topics.Also included in the text is a part dedicated to the topic of determinants. This topic is discussed in two parts; the first focuses on the determinants in the finite dimensional case, while the second talks about Fredholm determinants. The book is a helpful source of reference to students and researchers in the field of physics, specifically quantum and theoretical.

      Why Doesn't Universe Make Sense?

      Dec 1, 2022

      If alpha weren’t a constant, what would this mean for our understanding of the universe? It would be akin to observing that the advance in Mercury’s perihelion didn’t quite match Newton’s theory of gravity. In that case a completely new theory was re

      ‘New Force Of Nature’: Scientists ‘Cautiously Excited’ As Experiment Points Towards New Era In Our Understanding Of The Universe

      Mar 23, 2021

      Scientists studying the fundamental forces which govern the universe and everything in it are “cautiously excited” recent experiments could lead to a “new era” in our understanding of physics. While much scientific experimentation confirms existing h

      There is just something obviously reasonable about the following notion: If all life is built from atoms that obey precise equations we know—which seems to be true—then the existence of life might just be some downstream consequence of these laws tha

      Thought Experiment Paradox Divides Quantum Experts

      A new thought experiment may have exposed a paradox within the theory of quantum mechanics, according to new research. There is likely no other scientific theory that is as well supported as quantum mechanics. For nearly 100 years now, it has repeate
