Opis

In recent years, progress in the field of SCQM (supersymmetric classical and quantum mechanics) has been dramatic and the literature continues to grow. This monograph offers an overview of the field and summarizes the major developments of the last 15 years. It provides both an up-to-date review of the literature and a detailed exposition of the underlying SCQM principles. For those just beginning in the field, the author presents step-by-step details of most of the computations. For more experienced readers, the treatment includes systematic analyses of more advanced topics, such as quasi- and conditional solvability and the role of supersymmertry and nonlinear systems.
