From Symmetry to Supersymmetry to Supergravity
Abstract
The theoretical developments that led to supersymmetry, first global and then local, over roughly six years (1970-1976) arose from a convergence of physical insights and mathematical methods stemming from diverse, and sometimes independent, research directions. This contribution aims to illustrate the interplay of ideas, methods, and motivations that informed the entire process and concludes with a reflection on the scientific modality of these developments.
