A Journey Through Garden Algebras

Abstract

The main purpose of these lectures is to give a pedagogical overview on the possibility to classify and relate off-shell linear supermultiplets in the context of supersymmetric mechanics. A special emphasis is given to a recent graphical technique that turns out to be particularly effective for describing many aspects of supersymmetric mechanics in a direct and simplifying way.Comment: 50 pages, based on lectures delivered at the Winter School on Modern Trends in Supersymmetric Mechanics 7 - 12 March 2005, Frascati, Ital
