نویسنده
چکیده
This set of lectures contain a brief review of some basic supersymmetry and its representations , with emphasis on superspace and superfields. Starting from the Poincaré group, the supersymmetric extensions allowed by the Coleman-Mandula theorem and its generalisation to superalgebras, the Haag, Lopuszanski and Sohnius theorem, are discussed. Minkowski space is introduced as a quotient space and Superspace is presented as a direct generalization of this. The focus is then shifted from a general presentation to the relation between supersymmetry and complex geometry as manifested in the possible target space geometries for N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions. Gauging of isometries in nonlinear sigma models is discussed for these cases, and the quotient construction is described.

We compute the boundary stress-energies of time-dependent asymptotically AdS space-times in 5 and 7 dimensions, and find that their traces are equal to the respective 4 and 6 dimensional field-theoretic trace anomalies. This provides good supporting evidence in favour of the AdS/CFT correspondence in time-dependent backgrounds.

We address the localization of gravity on the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker type brane embedded in either AdS5 or dS5 bulk space, and derive two definite limits between which the value of the bulk cosmological constant has to lie in order to localize the graviton on the brane. The lower limit implies that the brane should be either dS4 or 4d Minkowski in the AdS5 bulk. The positive upper limit ind...
