AI Thread Summary
To prepare for studying String Theory, foundational knowledge in several advanced topics is essential. Key subjects include Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and Quantum Field Theory (QFT), as they provide the necessary framework for understanding the principles of String Theory. Additionally, a strong grasp of mathematical concepts such as group theory, differential geometry, and topology is crucial. Engaging with these subjects step by step will build the required background to effectively explore String Theory. Seeking guidance from academic resources and mentors in the field can further facilitate this learning journey.

Hi,

I'm curious about What world it is, What happened to the initial world to become this state.

I'm student undergraduate and I got admission from plasma laser lab of graduate school.

But i want to learn about String-Theory. So i planed to learn relevant subject step by step.

But What subject i need to learn to be qualified to learn String Theory?

Shoud i learn all theory such as QED,QCD,QFT?

Is there other mathemetical subject we need to learn?

Please lead me into right direction!

Thank you for your help, World beginning explorer!

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'PhD Admission: What Do Committees Want from an MS Applicant in Research?'

I am currently in the second (and final) year of my MS in Physics. I've just started my research, which focuses on identifying Dark Matter through Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) extensions. My supervisor has directed me to learn model building using FeynRules and subsequent calculations via MadGraph or other simulators. I've successfully built models for QED and QCD, and I am now working on Weak Interactions, Electroweak theory, and symmetry breaking. My immediate goal for the next few...
