Title Supersymmetry and string theory: Beyond the standard model Author(s) Michael Dine Publication Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007. Description 515p.+As the book was going to press, there were important developments in a number of these subjects. The website http://scipp.ucsc.edu/~dine/book/book.html will contain updates, errata, solutions of selected problems and additional selected reading Contents Note The first part of the text is a review of the Standard Model. It is meant to complement existing books, providing an introduction to perturbation and phenomenological aspects of the theory, but with a lenghty introduction to non-perturbative issues, especially in the strong interactions. The goal is to provide an understanding of chiral symmetry breaking, anomalies and instantons, suitable for thinking about possible strong dynamics, and about dynamical issues in super-symmetric theories. The first part also introduces grand unification and magnetic monopoles. The second part of the book focuses on supersymmetry. In addition to global supersymmetry in superspace, there is a study of the supersymmetry currents, which are important for the understanding dynamics, and also for understanding the BPS conditions which play an important role in field theory and string theory dualities. The third part of the book is an introduction to string theory. ISBN,Price 0521858410 : SP 45.00 Classification 530.1:539.12 Keyword(s) 1. ASTROPHYSICS 2. BIG BANG THEORY 3. COSMOLOGY 4.
