Supersymmetric Methods in Quantum and Statistical Physics

The idea of supersymmetry was originally introduced in relativistic quantum field theories as a generalization of Poincare symmetry. In 1976 Nicolai sug­ gested an analogous generalization for non-relativistic quantum mechanics. With the one-dimensional model introduced by Witten in 1981, supersym­ metry became a major tool in quantum mechanics and mathematical, sta­ tistical, and condensed-IIll;l...
