Introduction to Supersymmetry and Supergravity
Supersymmetry is one of central topics in theoretical High Energy Physics. It also has growing applications in Mathematics and other branches of Physics. This course gives a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts of the simple and extended supersymmetric theories and supergravity. The course will focus on theoretical aspects of supersymmetry and supergravity. The lecture course will cover the following topics:
- SUSY algebras and its representations
- Supersymmetric field theories and superfield formalism
- Extended Supersymmetry
- Non-perturbative dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories
- Supergravity and black holes
- SUSY algebras and its representations
- Supersymmetric field theories and superfield formalism
- Extended Supersymmetry
- Non-perturbative dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories
- Supergravity and black holes

Lecturer Intro
Hossein Yavartanoo is a theoretical high energy physicist and have been worked on various topics on quantum field theory, string theory, black hole physics and holographic principle. The broad questions my research aims to address is: what are the building blocks of spacetime and matter? String theory provides a potential framework to answer these questions because it can unify quantum theory with gravity in a very natural way. At present time, my main focus is studying quantum aspects of black holes.
