这本书是为了纪念超对称性的发现者之一尤里·戈尔凡。1970年,他和他的学生一起构造了庞加莱代数的超扩张,并获得了第一个四维超对称场论,这是超对称QED的一个版本。戈尔凡于1994年去世。超对称性的先驱--内沃、施瓦茨、雷蒙德、戈尔凡、沃尔科夫、韦斯、祖米诺和其他人--在20世纪70年代初预见到他们将向我们打开超级世界的大门吗?超级世界将成为我们理解自然的最重要的组成部分之一--一个将永远伴随我们的组成部分。这本书是对原始论文和评论文章的汇编,致力于超对称性的各个方面,由该领域的杰出研究人员撰写,他们的工作塑造了当今的理论,并继续对前沿发展方向产生深远影响。讨论的主题范围很广--从超弦理论中的微妙结果到基于超对称的现象学。大部分文章都是专门为这本书准备的。这本书的第一部分包括编辑的文章,介绍了戈尔凡德生活和工作的基本阶段,他的遗孀N·科雷茨-戈尔芬德夫人和他的学生E·利赫特曼博士的回忆录。还收录了M.Marinov教授的文章《揭示通往超世界的道路》,概述了为发现超对称性铺平道路的主要思想。这本书的历史部分以1972年发表在塔姆纪念册上的关于超对称性的Golfand-Likhtman论文的英译本作为结束。
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Yuri Golfand, one of the discoverers of supersymmetry. Together with his student, he constructed in 1970 the superextension of the Poincare algebra and obtained the first four-dimensional supersymmetric field theory, a version of supersymmetric QED. Golfand died in 1994. Did the pioneers of supersymmetry - Neveu, Schwarz, Ramond, Golfand, Volkov, Wess, Zumino and others - foresee in the early 1970s that they would be opening to us the gates of the superworld? The superworld will become one of the most important components of our understanding of nature - a component that will stay with us forever. This book is a compilation of the original papers and review articles, devoted to various aspects of supersymmetry, written by the outstanding researchers in the field, theorists whose work shaped the present day theory and continues to make a profound impact on the frontier directions of development. A wide range of topics is discussed -from subtle results in the superstring theory to supersymmetry-based phenomenology. Most of the articles have been prepared specifically for this volume. The first part of the book consists of the editor's essay presenting the basic stages of Golfand's life and work, the memoirs of his widow, Mrs. N. Koretz-Golfand, and of his student, Dr. E. Likhtman. Also included is the article of Professor M. Marinov, "Revealing the Path to the Superworld", outlining the main ideas that paved the way to the discovery of supersymmetry. The historical part of the book concludes with the English translation of the Golfand-Likhtman paper on supersymmetry published in 1972 in the Tamm Memorial Volume.
