Introduction to Supergravity
by Henning Samtleben
Publisher: Leibniz Universität 2007
Number of pages: 29
Description:
There are several reasons to consider the combination of supersymmetry and gravitation. The foremost is that if supersymmetry turns out to be realized at all in nature, then it must eventually appear in the context of gravity.

New Lectures on Supergravityby Nilo Serpa - arXiv
This essay aims to summarize the main physical features arising from a new supersymmetric theory of gravitation. It deals with gravity inside the limits of a meta-field theory, that is, a non-quantized but consistent representation of supergravity.

BPS Black Holes in Supergravityby Riccardo D'Auria, Pietro Fre' - arXiv
In these lectures we explain the concept of supergravity p-branes and BPS black holes. The Lectures are meant to be introductory and self contained for non supersymmetry experts but at the same time fully detailed and complete on the subject.
