Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students with a basic knowledge of supersymmetry will be introduced in the basic ingredients of a supergravity theory. They will learn how to obtain an action that is invariant under a set of local supersymmetry transformations satisfying an algebra that contains general coordinate transformations. They will be introduced in the tools that are useful for constructing couplings of matter fields to the simplest supergravity theories: the superconformal calculus. In particular they will in this way obtain the basic structure of N=1 matter-coupled supergravity.
