Download or read book Complex Differential Geometry and Supermanifolds in Strings and Fields written by Petrus J.M. Bongaarts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with one of the most active fields of research in mathematical physics: the use of geometric and topological methods in field theory. The emphasis in these proceedings is on complex differential geometry, in particular on Kähler manifolds, supermanifolds, and graded manifolds. From the point of view of physics the main topics were field theory, string theory and problems from elementary particle theory involving supersymmetry. The lectures show a remarkable unity of approach and are considerably related to each other. They should be of great value to researchers and graduate students.
