Green M., Schwarz J., Witten E. Superstring Theory: Volume 2: Loop Amplitudes, Anomalies and Phenomenology

Cambridge University Press, 1987. — 608 p. — (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics). — ISBN: 052132999X.In recent years, superstring theory has emerged as a promising approach to reconciling general relativity with quantum mechanics and unifying the fundamental interactions. Problems that have seemed insuperable in previous approaches take on a totally new character in the context of superstring theory, and some of them have been overcome. Interest in the subject has greatly increased following a succession of exciting recent developments. This two-volume book attempts to meet the need for a systematic exposition of superstring theory and its applications accessible to as wide an audience as possible.One-loop diagrams in the bosonic string theory
