This graduate textbook covers the basic formalism of supergravity, as well as its modern applications, suitable for a focused first course. Assuming a working knowledge of quantum field theory, Part I gives the basic formalism, including on- and off-shell supergravity, the covariant formulation, superspace and coset formulations, coupling to matter, higher dimensions and extended supersymmetry. A wide range of modern applications are introduced in Part II, including string theoretical (T- and U-duality, AdS/CFT, susy and sugra on the worldsheet, superembeddings), gravitational (p-brane solutions and their susy, attractor mechanism, Witten's positive energy theorem) and phenomenological (inflation in supergravity, supergravity no-go theorems, string theory constructions at low energies, minimal supergravity and its susy-breaking). The broader emphasis on applications than competing texts gives Ph.D. students the tools they need to do research that uses supergravity and benefits researchers already working in areas related to supergravity.

Horațiu Năstase is a researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, State University of São Paulo. He completed his Ph.D. at Stony Brook with Peter van Nieuwenhuizen, co-discoverer of supergravity. While in Princeton as a postdoc, in a 2002 paper with David Berenstein and Juan Maldacena, he started the pp-wave correspondence, a sub-area of the AdS/CFT correspondence. He has written more than 100 scientific articles and 6 other books: Introduction to the AdS/CFT Correspondence (2015), String Theory Methods for Condensed Matter Physics (2017), Classical Field Theory (2019), Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (2019), Cosmology and String Theory (2019) and Quantum Mechanics: A Graduate Course (2022).
