Description: The Quantum Theory of Fields: Volume 3, Supersymmetry A comprehensive introduction to supersymmetry from Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg, now available in paperback. Steven Weinberg (Author) 9780521670555, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 9 May 2005 442 pages 25.3 x 17 x 2 cm, 0.92 kg 'Experienced researchers and beginning graduate students will delight in the gems of wisdom to be found in these pages ... I have no doubt that these two volumes will rapidly constitute the classic treatment of this important subject.' M. B. Green, CERN Courier In this third volume of The Quantum Theory of Fields, available for the first time in paperback, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg continues his masterly exposition of quantum field theory. This volume presents a self-contained, up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to supersymmetry, a highly active area of theoretical physics. The text introduces and explains a broad range of topics, including supersymmetric algebras, supersymmetric field theories, extended supersymmetry, supergraphs, non-perturbative results, theories of supersymmetry in higher dimensions, and supergravity. A thorough review is given of the phenomenological implications of supersymmetry, including theories of both gauge and gravitationally-mediated supersymmetry breaking. Also provided is an introduction to mathematical techniques, based on holomorphy and duality, that have proved so fruitful in recent developments. This book contains much material not found in other books on supersymmetry, including previously unpublished results. Exercises are included. Preface to Volume III Notation 24.
