Hidden role of Maxwell superalgebras in the free differential algebras of D = 4 and D = 11 supergravity

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show that the so-called Maxwell superalgebra in four dimensions, which naturally involves the presence of a nilpotent fermionic generator, can be interpreted as a hidden superalgebra underlying $$\mathcal {N}=1, {\hbox {D}}=4$$ N=1,D=4 supergravity extended t...
