Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Singapore : World Scientific, [2020]Description: 1 online resource (xvi, 362 p.).ISBN: 9789811210525; 9811210527.Subject(s): Supergravity | Electronic booksDDC classification: 539.72 Online resources: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.
Contents:
Preface -- Acknowledgments -- List of tables -- Introduction and outlook of the book -- A brief summary of n = 1 supersymmetry -- Curved superspace : geometrical principles -- Superfields in curved superspace -- General principles to construct invariant actions -- Explicit computation of the supergravity action -- Supergravity breaking -- Supergravity in particles physics and cosmology -- Appendices. Conventions ; Some properties of the Lorentz Group ; Useful identities ; Supermultiplets : conventions and main results ; How to construct an action in supergravity ; Kähler manifolds ; Two-loop renormalisation group equations ; Lie superalgebras associated to supergravity and supersymmetry -- Bibliography -- Index.
Summary: "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"--Publisher's website.
