Mini Course 2019: Introduction to Supersymmetric Localization with Defects

Abstract:
In this mini-course, I will explain localization techniques in supersymmetric gauge theories and their applications to defects. Topics will include
    - Basics of supersymmetry
    - Localization in geometry
    - SUSY localization on the four-sphere
    - AGT correspondence
    - Wilson-'t Hooft line operators in 4d
    - Monopole operators in 3d
I will assume the basic understanding of QFT but not supersymmetry. My aim is to prepare students for actual research in the area.
