Superstrings<br />

Supersymmetry relates particles with different spin-statistics:<br />

supermultiplet=(bosons, fermions)<br />

Infinitesimal transformation<br />

δf = ɛ∂b δb = ɛf ”δ 2 ”b = ”ɛ 2 ”∂b<br />

Superstrings live in 10 dimensions. At the massless level (or α ′ → 0) find<br />

◮ open strings: superMaxwell multiplet (A µ and a spin 1/2 field,<br />

gaugino)<br />

◮ closed strings: supergravity multiplet (g µν , a spin 3/2 field,<br />

gravitino, plus a bunch <strong>of</strong> other fields)
