This book presents the superfield description of various supersymmetric field theory models in three- and four-dimensional space-times. A mapping between superfield and component formulations of supersymmetric field theories is discussed. The author also describes the methodology for calculating quantum corrections in these theories employing supergraph formalism and functional methods, and illustrates these approaches with many detailed examples of how such calculations are performed for various superfield models.

“The exposition is comprehensive and the calculations are explicit at each step, thus making the book pedagogical and valuable also for the non-expert reader. Many explicit examples are worked out in detail, both in three and in four dimensions.” (Niccolò Cribiori, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2022)
