The authors give a thorough and pedagogical introduction to the subject suitable for beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate students in theoretical high energy physics or mathematical physics. Interested researchers working in these or related areas are also addressed. The level of the presentation assumes a working knowledge of general relativity and basic notions of differential geometry as well as some familiarity with global supersymmetry in relativistic field theories. Bypassing curved superspace and other more technical approaches, the book starts from the simple idea of supersymmetry as a local gauge symmetry and derives the mathematical and physical properties of supergravity in a direct and ?minimalistic? way, using a combination of explicit computations and geometrical reasoning. Key topics include spinors in curved spacetime, pure supergravity with and without a cosmological constant, matter couplings in global and local supersymmetry, phenomenological and cosmological implications, extended supergravity, gauged supergravity and supergravity in higher spacetime dimensions. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x1616-6361 ;$v991 606 $aGravitation 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aMathematics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravity 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravity. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a530.142 700 $aDall'Agata$b Gianguido$01072347 702 $aZagermann$b Marco 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910506397903321 996 $aSupergravity$92568652 997 $aUNINA
