Book Synopsis
This book presents, in a unifying perspective, the topics related to N=2 supersymmetry in two dimensions. Beginning with the Kähler structure of D=4 supergravity Lagrangians, through the analysis of string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds, one reaches the heart of the matter with the chiral ring structure of N=2 conformal field theories and its relation to topological field theory models and Landau-Ginzburg models. In addition, mirror symmetry, topological twists and Picard-Fuchs equations are discussed.

Table of Contents
An introduction to the subject; supergravity and Kahler geometry; Calabi-Yau manifolds; N=2 field theories in two dimensions; Gepner tensor products; moduli spaces and special geometry; topological field theories; mirror symmetry; Picard-Fuchs equations; monodromy and duality groups.
