Supersymmetry and Quantum Field Theory, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1998
Proceedings of the D. Volkov Memorial Seminar Held in Kharkov, Ukraine, 5–7 January 1997
Lecture Notes in Physics Series, Vol. 509

This volume contains important contributions to various topics of modern theoretical physics: supermembranes, supersymmetry, and quantum field theory and quantum groups. The book is dedicated to the late D. Volkov and also contains a selection of his pioneering work in spin and statistics, supersymmetry, supergravity, and superstrings.
