Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theory and String Theory

By Alexander Love, David Bailin, D. Bailin

Book Overview

Designed as a sequel to the authors' Introduction to Gauge Field Theory, this book introduces first-year graduate students to supersymmetric theories, including supergravity and superstring theories. Starting with the necessary background in quantum field theory, the book covers the three key topics of high-energy physics. The emphasis is on practical calculations rather than abstract generalities or phenomenological results. Where possible, the authors show how to calculate, connecting the theoretical with the phenomenological. While the field continues to advance and grow, this book addresses the basic theory at the core and will likely remain relevant even if more advanced ideas change.
