Description

Book Synopsis
The publication of the first edition of “Introduction to Supersymmetry and Supergravity” was a remarkable success. This second edition contains a substantial amount of new material especially on two-dimensional supersymmetry algebras, their irreducible representations as well as rigid and local (i.e. supergravity) theories of 2-dimensional supersymmetry both in x-space and superspace. These theories include the actions for the superstring and the heterotic string. In addition, a chapter is devoted to a discussion on superconformal algebras in two dimensions and contains an account of super operator product expansion.

Trade Review
"The first edition of this book was probably the best introduction to supersymmetry and supergravity for graduate students. This extended second edition maintains that position." W Cox Mathematical Reviews, 1992
