Harmonic Superspace

Klappentext The inventors of harmonic superspace present a clear account of the theory and its applications. Zusammenfassung Inspired by exciting developments in superstring theory! this is a pedagogical and comprehensive introduction to the harmonic superspace method in extended supersymmetry. The authors (credited with inventing the technique) are recognised as world experts on the subject and present a clear account of its formalism and applications. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
