String theory is a leading candidate for the unification of forces and matter. This book explores its predictions of the existence of additional dimensions and presents a unified perspective on the cutting-edge mathematical techniques required by graduate students and researchers in the field.

Alessandro Tomasiello is Professor of Physics at the University of Milano-Bicocca. He has held various positions in Harvard University, Stanford University, and École Polytechnique, Paris, during early stages in his career, and has been a plenary speaker at the annual Strings conference several times. His research applies modern mathematical techniques to problems of string theory and modern high-energy physics.
