Introduction To Supersymmetry (2nd Edition) by Armin Wiedemann (English) Hardcov

Description: Introduction To Supersymmetry (2nd Edition) by Armin Wiedemann, Harald J.W. Muller-kirsten Supersymmetry is a symmetry which combines bosons and fermions in the same multiplet of a larger group which unites the transformations of this symmetry with that of spacetime. This title provides an introduction to supersymmetry, and begins with a chapter on spacetime symmetries and spinors. It also addresses the breaking of supersymmetry. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Supersymmetry is a symmetry which combines bosons and fermions in the same multiplet of a larger group which unites the transformations of this symmetry with that of spacetime. Thus every bosonic particle must have a fermionic partner and vice versa. Since this is not what is observed, this symmetry with inherent theoretical advantages must be badly broken. It is hoped that the envisaged collider experiments at CERN will permit a first experimental test, which is expected to revive the interest in supersymmetry considerably.This revised edition of the highly successful text of 20 years ago provides an introduction to supersymmetry, and thus begins with a substantial chapter on spacetime symmetries and spinors. Following this, graded algebras are introduced, and thereafter the supersymmetric extension of the spacetime Poincare algebra and its representations. The Wess-Zumino model, superfields, supersymmetric Lagrangians, and supersymmetric gauge theories are treated in detail in subsequent chapters. Finally the breaking of supersymmetry is addressed meticulously. All calculations are presented in detail so that the reader can follow every step. Table of Contents Lorentz and Poincare Group; No-go Theorems and Graded Lie Algebras; The Supersymmetric Extension of the Poincare Algebra; Representations of the Super-Poincare Algebra; The Wess-Zumino Model; Superspace Formalism and Superfields; Constraint Superfields and Supermultiplets; Supersymmetric Lagrangians; Spontaneous Breaking of Supersymmetry; Supersymmetric Gauge Theories. Review For me and my students, the great thing about the book is that almost all the steps are worked out for the student/reader For many readers, especially those from a different area of high energy physics, the details are particularly helpful! It is very efficient in presenting the material such that one can immediately use it in his/her own work. -- Charles A Nelson "Physics Department, SUNY" Details ISBN9814293415 Author Harald J.W.
