Overview
This title presents outstanding achievements and ideas in: quantum field theory; supersymmetry; supergravity; M-theory; black holes and quantum gravity; noncommutative geometry; representation theory; and categories and quantum groups, which pushes the reader at the forefront of the latest developments. The book consists of more than 600 accessible, yet comprehensive, authored articles and definitions from more than 250 experts and well-known scientists. As an introduction it contains the ""SUSY story"", a collection of informal articles by founders of the field of supersymmetry and precursors with their rarest extraordinary memories and phenomenal explanations how and why they started with the idea of supersymmetry. For convenience, the encyclopaedia contains a detailed subject/article three level index (more than 50 three-column pages) and an author index. The book should be a useful reference and guide for research workers, Ph.D. students, specialists and professionals in supersymmetry, quantum groups, noncommutative geometry and other modern methods of theoretical and mathematical physics.
