内容説明
Designed as a sequel to the authors' Introduction to Gauge Field Theory, Supersymmetric Gauge Field Theory and String Theory introduces first-year graduate students to supersymmetric theories, including supergravity and superstring theories. Starting with the necessary background in quantum field theory, the book covers the three key topics of high-energy physics. The emphasis is on practical calculations rather than abstract generalities or phenomenological results. Where possible, the authors show how to calculate, connecting the theoretical with the phenomenological. While the field continues to advance and grow, this book addresses the basic theory at the core and will likely remain relevant even if more advanced ideas change.

内容説明
Supersymmetry is of interest to high energy physicists because it provides both an elegant solution to the gauge hierarchy problem of grand unified theories and a consistent quantum theory of gravity. This introduction to the field is at a level suitable for postgraduate students of theoretical physics. Prior knowledge of quantum field theory is assumed. Emphasis is placed on explicit calculations and contact with phenomenology.
