{"product_id":"introduction-to-supergravity-and-its-horatiu-nastase-9781009445597","title":"Introduction to Supergravity and Its Applications","description":"This graduate textbook covers the basic formalism of supergravity, as well as its modern applications, suitable for a focused first course. Assuming a working knowledge of quantum field theory, Part I gives the basic formalism, including on- and off-shell supergravity, the covariant formulation, superspace and coset formulations, coupling to matter, higher dimensions and extended supersymmetry. A wide range of modern applications are introduced in Part II, including string theoretical (T- and U-duality, AdS\/CFT, susy and sugra on the worldsheet, superembeddings), gravitational (p-brane solutions and their susy, attractor mechanism, Witten's positive energy theorem) and phenomenological (inflation in supergravity, supergravity no-go theorems, string theory constructions at low energies, minimal supergravity and its susy-breaking). The broader emphasis on applications than competing texts gives Ph.D. students the tools they need to do research that uses supergravity and benefits researchers already working in areas related to supergravity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Horatiu Nastase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009445596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009445597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Horatiu Nastase","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110875123967,"sku":"9781009445597","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d470083b-f9b8-4ea2-970e-e1d292d3eb25.jpg?v=1725470022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-supergravity-and-its-horatiu-nastase-9781009445597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
