I would like to know what are the prequisites for a graduate course with a handle "supergeometry and applications in physics", Iv'e read somewhere that it uses a lot of algebraic geometry, schemes, I guess that after the lecturer will publish the syllabus with the prequisites, I'll be wiser, nontheless I would like to know form others well versed in this topic which is obviously under 'mathematical physics'.

I would say an undergraduate degree in mathematics or theorectical physics with some knowledge of differential geometry and/or relativistic field theory. Probably some understanding of group theory supersymmetry is an extension of the Poincare symmetry group. I'd guess you'd want to have taken some more basic graduate coarses in geometry applications to field theory before this coarse.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
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...
