Lectures on Supersymmetry Breaking
by Kenneth Intriligator, Nathan Seiberg
Publisher: arXiv 2007
Number of pages: 47
Description:
We review the subject of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. First we consider supersymmetry breaking in a semiclassical theory. We illustrate it with several examples, demonstrating different phenomena, including metastable supersymmetry breaking. Then we give a brief review of the dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories. Finally, we use this dynamics to present various mechanisms for dynamical supersymmetry breaking.

Superspace or One Thousand and One Lessons in Supersymmetryby W. Siegel, at al. - arXiv
Supersymmetry is the supreme symmetry: It unifies spacetime symmetries with internal symmetries, fermions with bosons, and (local supersymmetry) gravity with matter. Under quite general assumptions it is the largest possible symmetry of the S-matrix.
