Description

Supersymmetry for Mathematicians: An Introduction presents a comprehensive introduction to the foundations of supersymmetry, written by renowned mathematician V. S. Varadarajan. This self-contained exposition covers the physical foundations of the theory and its development in supermanifolds, with a focus on mathematical theory. The book delves into the world of super linear algebra, establishing key theorems such as differential and integral calculus in supermanifolds, Frobenius theorem, and the foundations of super Lie groups. A detailed treatment of spinors in all dimensions and signatures is also provided, forming the basis of supergeometry developments in both physics and mathematics. Suitable for graduate students and mathematicians interested in the mathematical theory of supersymmetry, this book offers an in-depth exploration of the subject, making it suitable for independent study.
