Introduction to supersymmetry in particle and nuclear physics
This book constitutes the proceedings of an International School of Supersymmetry held in Mexico City in 1981. Lectures presented include an introduction to supersymmetry (symmetries in relativistic quantum field theory, supersymmetry in quantum field theory, Dirac matrices and Majorana spinors, supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, scalar multiplet and auxiliary fields, supergravity, N=1 supersymmetric theories, extended supersymmetry algebras, representations of extended supersymmetry, N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, extended supergravity), superfields (irreducible representations and chiral superfields, invariants and ''tensor calculus,'' gauge superfield, N=1 supergravity), grand unification with and without supersymmetry (supersymmetric models), Yang-Mills theories with global and local supersymmetry (Higgs and Superhiggs effect in unified field theories), and supergroups and their representations (fermion and Grassmann numbers, supertrace and superdeterminant, harmonic oscillator representation, the Tilde operator, eigenvalues of Casimir operators, branching rules, Kac-Dynkin diagrams and supertableaux).
