Supersymmetry and Quantum Field Theory

This volume contains important contributions to various topics of modern theoretical physics: supermembranes, supersymmetry, and quantum field theory and quantum groups. The book is dedicated to the late D. Volkov and also contains a selection of his pioneering work in spin and statistics, supersymmetry, supergravity, and superstrings.
