Syllabus

Supersymmetry algebra and representations, supersymmetric
field theories and gauge theories in four dimensions,
Seiberg duality in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories,
extended supersymmetry and the Seiberg-Witten description of N=2 SQCD.

An advanced course, whose prerequisites are QFT I and QFT II.

The grades will be based on an exam and on exercises given
throughout the course.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, The student will become proficient in N=1 SUSY in 4D, as well as some aspects of N=2 SUSY.
