String Theory, Dualities and Geometry

Education facts

Code: 1FA009

This advanced course explores superstrings, string dualities, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. Topics include black holes in string theory, particle derivation from the Standard Model, and modern computational techniques. Practical applications, such as holography, are emphasised. Upon completion, you will possess a concise yet comprehensive understanding of string theory and its relevance in theoretical physics. The course is a continuation of the course Conformal Field Theory and String Theory.

Entry requirements

120 credits in science/engineering. Participation in Conformal Field Theory and String Theory. That course may also be taken in parallel. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.

Education offerings

Each offering has its own dates and conditions. Closed offerings are retained as history and do not mean that a new application is open.
