Description:
This is the first volume in a series of books on the general theme of Supersymmetric Mechanics; the series is based on lectures and discussions held in 2005 and 2006 at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati. The selected topics include supersymmetry and supergravity, the attractor mechanism, black holes, fluxes, noncommutative mechanics, super-Hamiltonian formalism and matrix models. Incorporates in extensive write-ups the results of animated discussion sessions which followed the individual lectures.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"Edited by S Bellucci, S Ferrara and A Marrani, is a good example of the kind of well-digested presentation that should still find its way into university libraries. ... Overall, this makes for a useful compilation of material on a subject that underlies mush of the current effort in supersymmetric approaches to cosmology and the unification programme." (Kellogg S Stelle, Classical and Quantum Gravity, Issue 24, 2007)
