Pedagogical introduction to N=2 SUSY

[Neitrino]

Hi,

Could you pls advise me any textbooks or papers where I can find pedagogical introduction to N=2 Supersymmetry & familiarize myself...

Thank you very much
Best Regards

There is also a good lecture By Gaiotto, I attached it

Qgravity thanks for interesting resources.... wish you successful 2012

Just to complement what Qgravity posted:

The standard reference on harmonic superspace (the place where the most general explicit N=2 SUSY theories can be studied and quantized) is
Harmonic superspace by A.S. Galperin, E.A. Ivanov, V.I. Ogievetsky, E.S. Sokatchev (http://inspirehep.net/record/570842). The first couple of chapters are really readable and interesting. Then it gets into the more technical details.

Maybe the best reference on projective superspace (where N=2 nonlinear sigma models and associated geometry are best studied) is
Lectures on nonlinear sigma-models in projective superspace by Sergei M. Kuzenko (http://inspirehep.net/record/850967). Once again, the intro sections are very readable.

Maybe a bit off topic, but as a pretty neat application of N=2 harmonic superspace stuff for N=4 SYM you might take a look at From correlation functions to scattering amplitudes, by Sokatchev et al (http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.3246). Check the appendix in particular for some worked out computations
