E-Book Overview
Following Witten's remarkable discovery of the quantum mechanical scheme in which all the salient features of supersymmetry are embedded, SCQM (supersymmetric classical and quantum mechanics) has become a separate area of research, and in recent years has made dramatic progress. This Monograph summarizes the major developments of the last decade, provides an up-to-date review of the literature, and offers a detailed exposition of the underlying SCQM principles.
