This book is devoted to a pedagogical introduction to supergravity
from a practical perspective. As a particular feature of the book,
the authors provide explicit details, which makes the computations
easier to follow for the interested reader. Each chapter has
summary tables, which contain the main results and, in addition, we
have collected important or additional material in the appendix.In
the first part of the book, the N=1 supergravity Lagrangian in four
spacetime dimensions is derived. Closely following the reference of
Wess and Bagger, we use the superspace approach. All steps, from
the geometric principles of curved superspace to the field
redefinition necessary to obtain a correctly normalised Lagrangian,
are carefully analysed. Comparisons with other methods, such as
conformal supergravity, are also given.In the second part of the
book, we address more phenomenological aspects of supergravity such
as supersymmetry breaking, no-scale supergravity, super-Higgs
mechanism, etc. Finally, the relationship between supergravity and
particle physics, and cosmology are analysed.
