This article reviews the matrix model of M theory. M theory is an 11-dimensional quantum
theory of gravity that is believed to underlie all superstring theories. M theory is currently the …

We suggest and motivate a precise equivalence between uncompactified I I-dimensional M
theory and the N=∝ limit of the supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics describing D0 …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation is one of the most popular alternatives to Einstein's
theory of gravitation. This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the theoretical …

We propose that the ten-dimensional E 8× E 8 heterotic string is related to an eleven-
dimensional theory on the orbifold R10× S1/Z2 in the same way that the Type IIA string in ten …

The effective action for type II string theory compactified on a six-torus is N= 8 supergravity,
which is known to have an E7 duality symmetry. We show that this is broken by quantum …

In part one of Effective Action in Quantum Gravity, the book describes the principles of
quantum field theory and the significance of and theory behind effective action. Part two …

This book is the result of several years of work by the authors on different aspects of zeta
functions and related topics. The aim is twofold. On one hand, a considerable number of …

We propose a quantum theory of membranes designed such that the ground-state
wavefunction of the membrane with compact spatial topology Σ h reproduces the partition …
