Introduction to supersymmetry / Harald J.W. Müller-Kirsten, Armin Wiedemann. - Second edition - xi, 439 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. - World Scientific lecture notes in physics v. 80 . - World Scientific lecture notes in physics v. 80. .
Previous ed.: Supersymmetry : an introduction with conceptual and calculational details / H.J.W. Müller-Kirsten, A. Wiedemann. 1987. Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 423-432).
1. Lorentz and Poincaré Group, SL(2,C), Dirac and Majorana Spinors -- 2. No-Go Theorems and Graded Lie Algebras -- 3. The Supersymmetric Extension of the Poincaré Algebra -- 4. Representations of the Super–Poincaré Algebra -- 5. The Wess–Zumino Model -- 6. Superspace Formalism and Superfields -- 7. Constrained Superfields and Supermultiplets -- 8. Supersymmetric Lagrangians -- 9. Spontaneous Breaking of Supersymmetry -- 10. Supersymmetric Gauge Theories.
Supersymmetry is a symmetry which combines bosons and fermions in the same multiplet of a larger group which unites the transformations of this symmetry with that of spacetime. Thus every bosonic particle must have a fermionic partner and vice versa. Since this is not what is observed, this symmetry with inherent theoretical advantages must be badly broken. It is hoped that the envisaged collider experiments at CERN will permit a first experimental test, which is expected to revive the interest in supersymmetry considerably.
