A brief history of unification -- Gravitation -- Non-Abelian gauge theory -- The standard model -- Anomalies -- Effective Lagrangians -- Supersymmetry -- Grand unification -- MSSM Lagrangian -- N=1 supergravity -- Coupling of supergravity with matter and gauge fields -- Supergra…
This unique book gives a modern account of particle physics and gravity based on supersymmetry and supergravity, two of the most significant developments in theoretical physics since general relativity. The book begins with a brief overview of the history of unification and then…
Providing a pedagogical introduction to the rapidly developing field of AdS/CFT correspondence, this is one of the first texts to provide an accessible introduction to all the necessary concepts needed to engage with the methods, tools and applications of AdS/CFT. Without assumi…
