Contents:
24. Historical introduction -- 25. Supersymmetry algebras -- 26. Supersymmetric field theories -- 27. Supersymmetric gauge theories -- 28. Supersymmetric versions of the standard model -- 29. Beyond perturbation theory -- 30. Supergraphs -- 31. Supergravity -- 32. Sypersymmetry algebras in higher dimensions
Summary: Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg continues his masterly exposition of quantum field theory. This third volume of The Quantum Theory of Fields presents a self-contained, up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to supersymmetry, a highly active area of theoretical physics that is likely to be at the center of future progress in the physics of elementary particles and gravitation. The text introduces and explains a broad range of topics, including supersymmetric algebras, supersymmetric field theories, extended supersymmetry, supergraphs, nonperturbative 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, some of it published here for the first time. Problems are included.Supplement to:
