Properties of an Alternative Off-Shell Formulation of 4D Supergravity

Properties of an Alternative Off-Shell Formulation of 4D Supergravity

This article elaborates on an off-shell formulation of D = 4, N = 1 supergravity whose auxiliary fields comprise an antisymmetric tensor field without gauge degrees of freedom. In particular, the relation to new minimal supergravity, a supercovariant tensor calculus and the construction of invariant...
