商品描述

This graduate textbook covers the basic formalism of supergravity, as well as its modern applications, suitable for a focused first course. Assuming a working knowledge of quantum field theory, Part I gives the basic formalism, including on- and off-shell supergravity, the covariant formulation, superspace and coset formulations, coupling to matter, higher dimensions and extended supersymmetry. A wide range of modern applications are introduced in Part II, including string theoretical (T- and U-duality, AdS/CFT, susy and sugra on the worldsheet, superembeddings), gravitational (p-brane solutions and their susy, attractor mechanism, Witten's positive energy theorem) and phenomenological (inflation in supergravity, supergravity no-go theorems, string theory constructions at low energies, minimal supergravity and its susy-breaking). The broader emphasis on applications than competing texts gives Ph.D. students the tools they need to do research that uses supergravity and benefits researchers already working in areas related to supergravity.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本研究生教科書涵蓋了超重力的基本形式主義以及其現代應用,適合作為專注的第一門課程。假設讀者具備量子場論的基本知識,第一部分提供了基本形式主義,包括在殼內和殼外的超重力、協變形式、超空間和商群形式、與物質的耦合、更高維度和擴展超對稱。第二部分介紹了廣泛的現代應用,包括弦理論(T-和U-對偶、AdS/CFT、世界面上的超對稱和超重力、超嵌入)、重力(p-膜解和其超對稱、吸引子機制、Witten的正能量定理)以及現象學(超重力中的膨脹、超重力的無法實現定理、低能量下的弦理論構造、最小超重力及其超對稱破缺)。與其他競爭性文本相比,這本書對應用的更廣泛強調為博士生提供了進行使用超重力的研究所需的工具,並使已在超重力相關領域工作的研究人員受益。
