입자물리학의 초끈이론 차원줄임을 표준모형에 접목시킨  김진의 명예교수의 최근 책(최강신과 공저) "Quarks and Leptons from Orbifolded Superstring(Revised and Expanded Version 580 pages)"가 Springer Nature 에서 LNP954로 2020년 10월 31일 출판되었다. 이 책은 초끈이론을 4차원 물리학에 이용을 하고 싶은 대학원 고학년 학생들 및 연구자들을 위한 교과서이다.

This book is a guide for all those who want to explore the standard model using string theory. The approach pursued is “halfway” between a textbook and advanced research work and, accordingly, the book will allow both graduate students and particle phenomenologists to easily get acquainted with this fascinating field.

In this new edition the authors report on the status quo of the standard model following the discovery of the Higgs Boson, as well as the latest results concerning physics beyond the standard model. They present a formal introduction to string orbifolds and explain in detail how the massless states and the Kaluza-Klein spectra can be derived from the partition function. In turn, they provide an overview of orbifold phenomenology, by introducing the key aspects of string orbifolds in the context of SUSY standard models. In closing, the authors discuss the Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) from orbifolds and share key concepts regarding Calabi-Yau compactifications, M-theory and F-theory.
