Christopher Phillips" Subject: "Concise Encyclopedia of Supersymmetry" for N. Christopher Phillips X-MSMail-Priority: High X-Priority: 1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Status: R To N. Christopher Phillips from the Editors of Kluwer SUSY Encyclopedia Dear Professor Phillips: You probably know about the new essential Kluwer Academic Publishers Project "Concise Encyclopedia of Supersymmetry and Noncommutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics" edited by S. Duplij, W. Siegel and J. Bagger together with 23 high-level Advisory Editors: http://www.wkap.nl/prod/b/1-4020-1338-8. We are pleased to lend your attention to some additional information which is not fully covered in the standard Kluwer SUSY flyer: http://www.math.uni-mannheim.de/~duplij/susy/susyflyer.pdf. 1) The 650 pages volume contains over 700 comprehensive articles and definitions from more than 275 experts, as well as the author, subject and article indices that catalog more than 450,000 comparisons. 2) The subjects covered are not only supersymmetry, supergravity and M-theory, but also large amount of the related – standard and recent - specific questions of quantum field theory, branes, black holes, classical and quantum gravity, noncommutative geometry and unified models, as well as pure mathematical topics – superalgeras, supergroups and supermanifolds, representation theory, categories, quantum groups and Hopf algebras - and wide supersymmetry methods applications - in quantum and classical mechanics, astrophysics, quantum optics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, genetic code models and statistical physics. 3) There are also biographical articles which cover main life data of most prominent scientists being in cradle and beginnings of supersymmetry. 4) The "SUSY Story", a collection of 10 informal articles written by supersymmetry precursors themselves exclusively for the Encyclopedia, recalls the truth and unknown facts of SUSY birth - at first hand. 5) The supersymmetry is known to become a Nobel prize problem: from the session 'Millennium Madness' at the International Superstrings Conference, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, July 2000 - 'Ten Physics Problems for the Next Millennium' - Problem 4 - "Is Nature supersymmetric, and if so, how is supersymmetry broken?" - "...solving any one of these would almost guarantee a trip to Stockholm". http://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/strings2000/millennium.html We realize that the price of the "Concise Encyclopedia of Supersymmetry" could be seen steep, it doesn't depend on the Editors, but on the Publisher only. Despite we dare hope that the modern flexible grant system, having a special separate line for books, could help in getting such extraordinary, comprehend and first in the discipline 275-authors volume. Your kind questions, comments and remarks concerning the volume as a whole and concrete papers and terms, possible misprints would be greatly appreciated. We understand that in a single encyclopedic volume one cannot cover questions which would interest all the scientists. Nevertheless, we would appreciate your professional interest, and it would be much helpful, if you could inform your colleagues, students and, in case, your local library about the "Concise Encyclopedia of Supersymmetry" which would be of great general informational use. Thank you. Professor Phillips, please be assured that we respect your privacy, and this is a one time message. The E-mail applied by you for scientific communication was taken from N. Christopher Phillips's preprint submitted to LANL archive. Thank you for your kind attention and interest to the "Concise Encyclopedia of Supersymmetry and Noncommutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics". Respectfully yours, The Editors P.S.
