Ideas and methods of supersymmetry and supergravity : or, A walk through superspace. Rev ed.

Abstract

Offers an account of four dimensional simple supersymmetry and supergravity. This book covers algebraic aspects of supersymmetry and the concepts of superspace and superfield. It presents classical and quantum superfield theory and the superfield formulation of supergravity. It concludes with the theory of effective action in curved superspaces.
