Superspace: One Thousand and One Lessons in Supersymmetry – S. James Gates
Spanish Translation
Gates comienza su odisea en superspcae definiendo generalmente la supersimetría y los campos. El principio de simetría es el fundamental de la física de partículas. Existe una simetría global en el fenómeno de la naturaleza que se exhibe en las interacciones básicas de la materia. Aquí la teoría de campo es inmensamente importante como modelo de simetrías cuánticas. Un modelo particular, la simetría Yang-Mill representa el nivel cuántico a distancias cortas. También hay interacciones cuánticas de la gravedad. Hay partículas básicas de calibre fermínica y bosónica en los múltiplos necesarios para las interacciones gravitacionales, cinéticas y de campo. Esta teoría unifica las fuerzas articuladas constituyentes fermínicas y bosónicas.

Gates begins his odyssey on superspcae generally defining supersymmetry and fields. The Symmetry principal is the fundamental of particle physics. There is global symmetry in the phenomenon of nature exhibited in the basic interactions of matter. Here field theory is immensely important as a model of quantum symmetries. A particular model the Yang-Mill symmetry represents the quantum level over short distances. There is also quantum interactions of gravity. There are basic fermionic and bosonic gauge particles in multiplets needed for gravitational, kinetic and field interactions. This theory unifies the fermionic and bosonic constituent particulate forces.
