Introductory Books for Research in Bosonic String Theory

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking introductory books and materials related to gauge theory, conformal field theory, and Polyakov integrals, specifically for research in Bosonic string theory. The individual is open to recommendations for any essential literature on string theory, including heterotic string theory, emphasizing the importance of a broad range of resources. They express a willingness to invest in high-quality materials, including guidebooks, and appreciate any assistance offered. Additionally, there is a request for further engagement or rephrasing of the original post to generate more responses.

I am looking for introductiory books on gauge theory and conformalfield theory and polyakov integrals for research in Bosonic string theory. Any other material recommendations for String theory that are necessary for bosonic string theory or heterotic string theory are definelty apreciated. To keep the range of material large(I understand there are over 10000 papers on String theory as Polchinski writes) the price does not matter and if I need guide books and so on also does not matter. I seriusly apreciate help, thanks.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
