Any textbooks on LQT, SUSY and/or QG?

In summary, the conversation discusses suggestions for text to start working on topics such as LQT, STRING THEORY, and QUANTUM GRAVITY. The importance of mastering QM, QFT, and GR before delving into these topics is mentioned, along with a reminder to also study classical field theory. The conversation ends with a humorous anecdote about a dialogue between an astronomer and a king.

Can anyone suggest any text, which I can start work on LQT, STRING THEORY, QUANTUM GRAVITY.

What is LQT? Perhaps you meant LQG?

And have you already mastered QM, QFT and GR? (If not, you should do that first.)

Don't forget classical field theory (particularly electrodynamics) ;-)). There is this famous dialogue between an astronomer and a king. The latter was asking "What's new in the heavens." The astronomer: "Sire, do you already know all the old stuff?"

Ha, ha, that's a great answer! :biggrin::biggrin:
Now I will use that answer when people ask me "What's new in physics?" just for the sake of starting a conversation.

1. What is LQT?

LQT stands for "Lepton Quark Theory" and is a proposed unified theory that combines the Standard Model of particle physics with gravity.

2. What is SUSY?

SUSY, short for "Supersymmetry," is a theoretical framework that predicts the existence of a partner particle for every known particle in the Standard Model. It is proposed as a solution to some of the limitations of the Standard Model.

3. What is QG?

QG stands for "Quantum Gravity" and is a proposed theory that aims to unify the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It seeks to explain the behavior of gravity at the quantum level.

4. Why is it important to study LQT, SUSY, and QG?

These theories are important because they aim to explain some of the fundamental questions in physics, such as the nature of gravity and the unification of all fundamental forces. They also have the potential to bridge the gaps between different theories and provide a more complete understanding of the universe.

5. Are there any textbooks available on LQT, SUSY, and QG?

Yes, there are several textbooks available on these topics, written by experts in the field. Some popular titles include "Introduction to Supersymmetry" by Peter West, "Quantum Gravity" by Carlo Rovelli, and "Lepton Quark Theory" by Tom Kibble.
