Title: Supergravity ([EBook]) : from first principles to modern applications/ Gianguido Dall'Agata, Marco Zagermann Dewey Class: 530.14 Author: Dall'Agata, Gianguido Added Personal Name: Zagermann, Marco Publication: Heidelberg : Springer Berlin, 2021 Physical Details: : online resource (xiv, 294 p., ill.) Series: Lecture notes in physics; 991 ISBN: 9783662639801 Mode of acces to digital resource: Digital reproduction.-Heidelberg :Springer Berlin,2021. -Digital book. Cham Springer Nature 2021. - Mode of access: World Wide Web. System requirements: Internet Explorer 6.0 (or higher) or Firefox 2.0 (or higher). Available as searchable text in PDF format System details note: Online access to this digital book is restricted to subscription institutions through IP address (only for SISSA internal users). Summary Note: This book is about supergravity, which combines the principles of general relativity and local gauge invariance with the idea of supersymmetries between bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom. The authors give a thorough and pedagogical introduction to the subject suitable for beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate students in theoretical high energy physics or mathematical physics. Interested researchers working in these or related areas are also addressed. The level of the presentation assumes a working knowledge of general relativity and basic notions of differential geometry as well as some familiarity with global supersymmetry in relativistic field theories. Bypassing curved superspace and other more technical approaches, the book starts from the simple idea of supersymmetry as a local gauge symmetry and derives the mathematical and physical properties of supergravity in a direct and “minimalistic” way, using a combination of explicit computations and geometrical reasoning. Key topics include spinors in curved spacetime, pure supergravity with and without a cosmological constant, matter couplings in global and local supersymmetry, phenomenological and cosmological implications, extended supergravity, gauged supergravity and supergravity in higher spacetime dimensions.: ------------------------------ *** There are no holdings for this record *** -----------------------------------------------
