Focuses on the cosmological implications of the gauge theories of particle physics and of string theory. This book examines relics of early phase transitions, generic relics, and supersymmetric particles. It studies supersymmetric theory, supergravity theory, and the constraints on the underlying field theory of the universe's inflationary era.

A sequel to "Introduction to Gauge Field Theory", this book introduces first-year graduate students to supersymmetric theories, including supergravity and superstring theories. Starting with the necessary background in quantum field theory, it focuses on practical calculations rather than abstract generalities or phenomenological results.
