About the importance of supersymmetry and superspace for supergravity

Paolo Di Sia

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

We consider in this paper the importance of the concepts of supersymmetry and superspace for the construction of supergravity theories, focusing the attention in particular on D = 4, N = 1 supergravity. The Einstein theory of general relativity, considered supersymmetric, brings to supergravity and the superspace gives a geometrical meaning to the supersymmetry transformations. These technical tools are compact and formally very elegant, interesting technics of innovation for science.
