Book Description
Designed as a sequel to the authors' Introduction to Gauge Field Theory, Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theory and String Theory 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.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This book provides, in a single volume, an introduction to supersymmetry, supergravity and supersymmetric string theory at a level suitable for postgraduate students in theoretical physics. Prior knowledge of quantum field theory, such as provided by the authors' previous book Introduction To Gauge Field Theory, is assumed. The book as been designed as a textbook for a first course in the subject.
