(Se trata de un seminario destinado a una audiencia de carácter general). Sumario: One of the most fascinating ideas in the search for unity of the basic forces of Nature is certainly the one that states that the physical laws governing elementary particle processes have a higher,yet undiscovered,invariance called "supersymmetry". Supersymmetry appears as a basic tool for the formulation of quantum theories of gravity, such as superstrings and M-theory and may also manifests at low energy,if it is related to the Higgs sector of electroweak and strong interactions.
