Explore a comprehensive overview of supersymmetry in this 31-minute conference talk by Clay Cordova from the University of Chicago, recorded at the 2022 Snowmass Theory Frontier Conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into major themes including the classification problem, the status of maximal supersymmetry, and recent results in 4D N=4 theory. Examine the moduli space methods, supersymmetric defects, and connections between supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric dynamics. Investigate soft supersymmetry breaking, 4D adjoint QCD, and the chiral Lagrangian from Seiberg duality. Gain insights into the latest advances and future opportunities in particle theory, formal/string theory, cosmological and astro-particle theory, and quantum information science relevant to High Energy Physics.
