Index.Reviews'An excellent introduction to the methods and techniques used to study the geometries that could connect string theory to particle physics.' Prof. Juan Maldacena, Institute for Advanced Study 'This book provides an excellent exposition of the beautiful interplay of geometry and physics arising in string theory and will prove an invaluable introduction to the subject for physicists and mathematicians alike. It presents many of the latest developments and covers topics and details not discussed elsewhere. Written by an expert in the field, this book has a careful pedagogical approach and will be a key text for graduate students and an essential tool for researchers.' Prof. Chris Hull FRS, Imperial College London 'Geometry of String Theory Compactifications would be a most appropriate acquisition for a comprehensive university library, especially one supporting an active group of string theory researchers, whether they be in mathematics or physics departments … Recommended.'

He has held various positions in Harvard University, Stanford University, and École Polytechnique, Paris, during early stages in his career, and has been a plenary speaker at the annual Strings conference several times. His research applies modern mathematical techniques to problems of string theory and modern high-energy physics. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
