This book presents, in a unifying perspective, the topics related to N=2 supersymmetry in two dimensions. Beginning with the Kähler structure of D=4 supergravity Lagrangians, through the analysis of string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds, one reaches the heart of the m…
As with the earlier edition, this book provides an accessible introduction to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and its applications in quantum, statistical and solid state physics. Building on the earlier edition it now encapsulates the substantial developments that have been ma…
