This book aims to fill the gap in the available literature on
supermanifolds, describing the different approaches to supermanifolds
together with various applications to physics, including some which rely
on the more mathematical aspects of supermanifold theory.The first part
of the book contains a full introduction to the theory of
supermanifolds, comparing and contrasting the different approaches that
exist. Topics covered include tensors on supermanifolds, super fibre
bundles, super Lie groups and integration theory.Later chapters
emphasise applications, including the superspace approach to
supersymmetric theories, super Riemann surfaces and the spinning string,
path integration on supermanifolds and BRST quantization.
