Introduction to Supergravity Theories in Various Dimensions

Gianguido Dall'Agata - Università di Padova

 
  The course will focus on the construction of (un)gauged supergravity theories in various dimensions
and on their phenomenological properties
  The plan of the course is (time permitting):
 
  • Gravity as a gauge theory. Graviton and gravitino.
  • N=1 Supergravity in D=4
  • The Cosmological Constant
  • Coupling matter (I)
  • Coupling matter (II)
  • Supersymmetry breaking (models and phenomenology)
  • Duality in D=4
  • Extended Supergravity theories and gauging
  • Supergravity theories in D=11 and D=10
  •
