I'm having trouble verifying the second equation in (4.13) of Supersymmetry and Supergravity by Wess & Bagger. I'm getting a minus sign error in the second term. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.

i met the same question, is here someone can help us?
 
Have you tried sending an e-mail to Wess or Bagger? In my experience, even very busy professors are quite receptive to answering fan mail related to their textbooks as they get rather little of it relative to other kinds of authors and feel some special sense of obligation as they frequently do multiple editions of their books eventually and get a royalty in addition to their usual paychecks for it. The e-mails are usually easily available on faculty web pages.

While professors tend to dislike questions from their low level undergraduate classes, they tend to enjoy serious questions from advanced students even if they are technical and narrow.

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
