This book is about supergravity, which combines the principles of
general relativity and local gauge invariance with the idea of
supersymmetries between bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom.
The authors give a thorough and pedagogical introduction to the
subject suitable for beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate
students in theoretical high energy physics or mathematical
physics. Interested researchers working in these or related areas
are also addressed. The level of the presentation assumes a working
knowledge of general relativity and basic notions of differential
geometry as well as some familiarity with global supersymmetry in
relativistic field theories. Bypassing curved superspace and other
more technical approaches, the book starts from the simple idea of
supersymmetry as a local gauge symmetry and derives the
mathematical and physical properties of supergravity in a direct
and "minimalistic" way, using a combination of explicit
computations and geometrical reasoning. Key topics include spinors
in curved spacetime, pure supergravity with and without a
cosmological constant, matter couplings in global and local
supersymmetry, phenomenological and cosmological implications,
extended supergravity, gauged supergravity and supergravity in
higher spacetime dimensions.
