This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in physics
and mathematics who seek to understand the basics of supersymmetry
from a mathematical point of view. It provides a bridge between the
physical and mathematical approaches to the superworld. The
physicist who is devoted to learning the basics of supergeometry
can find a friendly approach here, since only the concepts that are
strictly necessary are introduced. On the other hand, the
mathematician who wants to learn from physics will find that all
the mathematical assumptions are firmly rooted in physical
concepts. This may open up a channel of communication between the
two communities working on different aspects of
supersymmetry.Starting from special relativity and Minkowski space,
the idea of conformal space and superspace is built step by step in
a mathematically rigorous way, and always connecting with the ideas
and notation used in physics. While the book is mainly devoted to
these important physical examples of superspaces, it can also be
used as an introduction to the field of supergeometry, where a
reader can ease into the subject without being overwhelmed with the
technical difficulties.
