Supergravity And Superstrings: A Geometric Perspective (In 3 Volumes) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book provides a self-contained presentation of supergravity theories from its fundamentals to its most recent union with string and superstring theories, which are also reviewed in a self-contained manner. The subject is presented consistently in a unified geometric formalism, relying on the calculus of exterior forms and the mathematics needed to develop the theory is explained in appropriate chapters.

Download and read online ebook Supergravity and Superstrings write by Leonardo Castellani. This book was released on 1991-01-01. Supergravity and Superstrings available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The joint authors are Riccardo D'Auria, and Pietro Fre. Their ambitious attempt here is to present a self-contained account of the field with sufficient explication to both introduce it and give an advanced treatment. They deal with gravity and differential geometry, the algebraic basis of supersymmetry, supergravity in the rheonomy framework, the role of the scalar fields, Kaluza-Klein supergravity and heterotic superstrings and supergravity. Carefully typed throughout--but typed, with the attendant strain on the eyes (and concentration). A very impressive piece of work (deserving of better than acidic bookpaper).

This book was released on 2012-04-05. Supergravity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Supergravity, together with string theory, is one of the most significant developments in theoretical physics. Written by two of the most respected workers in the field, this is the first-ever authoritative and systematic account of supergravity. The book starts by reviewing aspects of relativistic field theory in Minkowski spacetime. After introducing the relevant ingredients of differential geometry and gravity, some basic supergravity theories (D=4 and D=11) and the main gauge theory tools are explained. In the second half of the book, complex geometry and N=1 and N=2 supergravity theories are covered. Classical solutions and a chapter on AdS/CFT complete the book. Numerous exercises and examples make it ideal for Ph.D. students, and with applications to model building, cosmology and solutions of supergravity theories, it is also invaluable to researchers. A website hosted by the authors, featuring solutions to some exercises and additional reading material, can be found at www.cambridge.org/supergravity.

A unified theory embracing all physical phenomena is a major goal of theoretical physics. In the early 1980s, many physicists looked to eleven-dimensional supergravity in the hope that it might provide that elusive superunified theory. In 1984 supergravity was knocked off its pedestal by ten-dimensional superstrings, one-dimensional objects whose v
