This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1981 the Centro de Estudios Nucleares of the Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mexico organized an International School of Supersymmetry which took place in Mexico City from Dec. 14 to Dec. 18. The purpose of this School was to provide both students and researchers with an introduction to Supersymmetry as weIl as an overview of current research topics. A general introduction to the subject was given by Dr. Freedman while Dr. Grisaru discussed the superspace formulation of Supersym metry and Supergravity. Applications of these ideas to Particle Physics were discussed by Dr. Ferrara and Dr. Witten. Finally, Dr. Bars presented the basic framework for the discussion of Supersym metries in Nuclear Physics. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our lecturers for their enthusiastic participation in the School. The collaboration of Dr. Marcos Rosenbaum, Director of the Centro de Estudios Nucleares, and of all our colleagues in the Physics Department is also gratefully acknowledged. We also thank Mrs. Ma. Esther Colmenares for her careful typing of the manuscript and also for her unlimited patience in making all the necessary corrections. The help of Mr. Jose Rangel with symbols and figures is also deeply appreciated.

Download or read book Supersymmetric Field Theories written by Sergio Cecotti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting an elegant geometrical approach, this advanced pedagogical text describes deep and intuitive methods for understanding the subtle logic of supersymmetry while avoiding lengthy computations. The book describes how complex results and formulae obtained using other approaches can be significantly simplified when translated to a geometric setting. Introductory chapters describe geometric structures in field theory in the general case, while detailed later chapters address specific structures such as parallel tensor fields, G-structures, and isometry groups. The relationship between structures in supergravity and periodic maps of algebraic manifolds, Kodaira–Spencer theory, modularity, and the arithmetic properties of supergravity are also addressed. Relevant geometric concepts are introduced and described in detail, providing a self-contained toolkit of useful techniques, formulae and constructions. Covering all the material necessary for the application of supersymmetric field theories to fundamental physical questions, this is an outstanding resource for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics.
Download or read book Supersymmetry Lectures And Reprints In 2 Volumes written by Sergio Ferrara and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1987-10-01 with total page 1371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes, a collection of a series of articles with commentary notes by the editor, describe supersymmetric theories for particle interactions from the earliest developments to the latest advancements. The book, divided into two volumes, will mainly focus its attention on subjects related to the application of N = 1 supersymmetry and supergravity to unified theories, encompassing all fundamental forces of nature. Particular emphasis is given to the ultraviolet cancellations in supersymmetric field theories, naturalness and hierarchy of scales, spontaneous symmetry breaking, super-Higgs effect and its applications to high energy physics. Both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of supersymmetric field theories are covered. Over a hundred seminar papers are reprinted in these volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years have passed after the First Moscow Seminar on Quantum Gravity. It is a rather long time interval for the modern theoretical physics. The talks given at the present Second Seminar which took place in October 13-15, 1981 in Moscow contain the discussion of new results obtained during this period and the problems which arose. More than one hundred Soviet scientists and a number of the foreign guests attended this Seminar, which as the previous one was held by the Nuclear Physics Department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The aim of the Seminar was to discuss the most important problems of the modern Quantum Gravity, namely: i) Quantum Gravity: the state of art; ii) Quantum effects in Cosmology; iii) Quantum black-hole physics; iv) the recent development in Supergravity and v) Quantum Gauge Theories. The Editorial Board expresses its sincere gratitude to all physicists who have contributed to these Proceedings for their cooperation with the Board in respect of time limitation, accurate and patient fulfilment of all tiresome requirements, set by the Board. The talks in the Proceedings are arranged in sections in accordance with their presentation at the Seminar.
Download or read book Applied N 1 Supergravity written by Ali Chamseddine and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1984-07-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These lectures give an elementary introduction to the important recent developments of the applications of N=1 supergravity to the construction of unified models of elementary particle interactions. Topics covered include couplings of supergravity with matter, spontaneous symmetry breaking and the super-higgs effect, construction of supergravity unified models, and the phenomenon of SU(2) x U(1) electroweak-symmetry breaking by supergravity. Experimental consequences of N-1 supergravity unified theory, in particular, the possible supersymmetric decays of the W± and Z0 bosons, are also discussed. The treatment presented encompasses a broad class of models, both of the tree breaking as well as the radiative breaking of SU(2) x U(1). Rules of tensor calculus and the explicit construction of the Lagrangian of the Supergravity-matter couplings are given in the appendix.

Download or read book Quantum Gravity Quantum Cosmology and Lorentzian Geometries written by Giampiero Esposito and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-13 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at theoretical and mathematical physicists and mathematicians interested in modern gravitational physics. I have thus tried to use language familiar to readers working on classical and quantum gravity, paying attention both to difficult calculations and to existence theorems, and discussing in detail the current literature. The first aim of the book is to describe recent work on the problem of boundary conditions in one-loop quantum cosmology. The motivation of this research was to under stand whether supersymmetric theories are one-loop finite in the presence of boundaries, with application to the boundary-value problemsoccurring in quantum cosmology. Indeed, higher-loop calculations in the absence of boundaries are already available in the litera ture, showing that supergravity is not finite. I believe, however, that one-loop calculations in the presence of boundaries are more fundamental, in that they provide a more direct check of the inconsistency of supersymmetric quantum cosmology from the perturbative point of view. It therefore appears that higher-order calculations are not strictly needed, if the one-loop test already yields negative results. Even though the question is not yet settled, this research has led to many interesting, new applications of areas of theoretical and mathematical physics such as twistor theory in flat space, self-adjointness theory, the generalized Riemann zeta-function, and the theory of boundary counterterms in super gravity. I have also compared in detail my work with results by other authors, explaining, whenever possible, the origin of different results, the limits of my work and the unsolved problems.
Download or read book Supergravity Primer A From Geometrical Principles To The Final Lagrangian written by Michel Rausch De Traubenberg and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to a pedagogical introduction to supergravity from a practical perspective. As a particular feature of the book, the authors provide explicit details, which makes the computations easier to follow for the interested reader. Each chapter has summary tables, which contain the main results and, in addition, we have collected important or additional material in the appendix.In the first part of the book, the N=1 supergravity Lagrangian in four spacetime dimensions is derived. Closely following the reference of Wess and Bagger, we use the superspace approach. All steps, from the geometric principles of curved superspace to the field redefinition necessary to obtain a correctly normalised Lagrangian, are carefully analysed. Comparisons with other methods, such as conformal supergravity, are also given.In the second part of the book, we address more phenomenological aspects of supergravity such as supersymmetry breaking, no-scale supergravity, super-Higgs mechanism, etc. Finally, the relationship between supergravity and particle physics, and cosmology are analysed.
