Not Your Mama's Beading: The Cool and Creative Way to String 'Em Along
We go where no beading book has gone before and offer up projects that are absolutely wearable and that your brown-nosing cube-mate can only covet. If, like any self-respecting do-it-yourself gal, you still have a secret but slavish devotion to personal adornment, look no further. Choose one of more than thirty super-cool designs, get the basics, and whip up something you can't find in even the most exclusive Rodeo Drive boutiques.
Your plain-English guide to this complex scientific theory.
String theory is one of the most complicated sciences being explored today. Not to worry though! This informative guide clearly explains the basics of this hot topic, discusses the theory's hypotheses and predictions, and explores its curious implications. It also presents the critical viewpoints in opposition to string theory so you can draw your own conclusions.
This thesis presents several new insights on the interface between mathematics and theoretical physics, with a central role for Riemann surfaces. First of all, the duality between Vafa-Witten theory and WZW models is embedded in string theory. Secondly, this model is generalized to a web of dualities connecting topological string theory and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories to a configuration of D-branes that intersect over a Riemann surface.
