We give a comprehensive review of recent developments on using the pure spinor
formalism to compute massless superstring scattering amplitudes at tree level. The main …

We give a review of conformal supergravity considered as a candidate for a fundamental
theory describing physics at Planck distances. Conformal supergravities are supersymmetric …

The Quantum Theory of Fields, first published in 1996, is a self-contained, comprehensive
introduction to quantum field theory from Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg. Volume II gives …

In this third volume of The Quantum Theory of Fields, available for the first time in paperback,
Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg continues his masterly exposition of quantum field theory …

We show how spinors in space-times of dimension D= t+ s, where t is the time dimension,
are associated for st= 1, 2, 4, 8 (and if t= 0, 1, 2) with the number systems (division …

In the last decade methods and techniques based on supersymmetry have provided deep
insights in quantum chromodynamics and other non-supersymmetric gauge theories at …

By regarding gravity as the convolution of left and right Yang-Mills theories together with a
spectator scalar field in the biadjoint representation, we derive in linearized approximation …

We explore the relation between positivity of the energy constraints in conformal field
theories and causality in their dual gravity description. Our discussion involves CFTs with …

This is intended as a broad introduction to Chern-Simons gravity and supergravity. The
motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant system--with a fiber …
