String Field Theory From a Condor’s and Eagle’s Eye View

1.4.12, 14:00
Room 426/8
String theory holds the promise of unifying all forces of nature. However, we do not know what string theory is. A possible approach towards this problem is to define string theory as a field theory of strings, that is, as a string field theory. In this talk, string theory will be briefly reviewed and the framework of string field theory will be motivated. The challenges we face in defining and working with string field theory, as well as its accomplishments and some emerging mathematical structures will be presented
