SUPERSYMMETRIC GAUGE THEORIES
L. Alvarez-Gaume (CERN)

In the past few years there has been an explosion of new non-perturbative results in the study of gauge theories with supersymmetry. These lectures are intended to give an elementary introduction to the tools and main results of this new area of research in quantum field theory. We will review the results in N=1 and N=2 in four dimensions, and then study their generalization to other dimensions using the technology of D-branes and the connection with string theory. The basic prerequisite for this course is a good working knowledge in quantum field theory.
