Highly Technical Collection Of Pedagogical Lectures Given At A Workshop On Supergravity Organized By Hawking Including A Number Of Specialized Articles Which Reflect The Most Recent Research In 1981. Fine In Fine Dj No Marks Or Wear. Per Wikipedia "Supergravity Supergravity Theory; Sugra For Short Is A Modern Field Theory That Combines The Principles Of Supersymmetry And General Relativity; This Is In Contrast To Non-Gravitational Supersymmetric Theories Such As The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Supergravity Is The Gauge Theory Of Local Supersymmetry. Since The Supersymmetry Susy Generators Form Together With The Poincaré Algebra A Superalgebra Called The Super-Poincaré Algebra Supersymmetry As A Gauge Theory Makes Gravity Arise In A Natural Way. Like Any Field Theory Of Gravity A Supergravity Theory Contains A Spin-2 Field Whose Quantum Is The Graviton. Supersymmetry Requires The Graviton Field To Have A Superpartner. This Field Has Spin 3/2 And Its Quantum Is The Gravitino. The Number Of Gravitino Fields Is Equal To The Number Of Supersymmetries." Supergravity Was Of Interest In The Early 1980'S Lost Favor Due To Inconsitencies But Aspects Were Modified And It Is Again Of Some Active Scientific Interest. <br/> <br/> Cambridge University Press hardcover
