Modern supersymmetry : dynamics and duality /

Terning begins with a review of supersymmetry, the construction of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and approaches to supersymmetry breaking. General non-perturbative methods are also reviewed, Seiberg duality is discussed, the Sieberg-Witten theory of monopolies is introduced and much more...
