Know about the book -

N=2 Wonderland, The: From Calabi-yau Manifolds To Topological Field Theories is written by Pietro Fre and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9814501360 (ISBN 10) and 9789814501361 (ISBN 13).

This book presents, in a unifying perspective, the topics related to N=2 supersymmetry in two dimensions. Beginning with the Kähler structure of D=4 supergravity Lagrangians, through the analysis of string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds, one reaches the heart of the matter with the chiral ring structure of N=2 conformal field theories and its relation to topological field theory models and Landau-Ginzburg models. In addition, mirror symmetry, topological twists and Picard-Fuchs equations are discussed.
