Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity in Superspace

  • Chapter
Unification of the Fundamental Particle Interactions

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((EMISS,volume 7))

Abstract

In the present scenario of our theoretical understanding of fundamental particle interactions, extended supergravity appears to be the only viable gauge quantum field theory which may succeed in the attempts at superunification of electroweak, strong and gravitational interactions.
