Local symmetries in extended conformal gravity and conformal supergravity in superspace
Description
The extended conformal field theory of gravity is discussed, and its local symmetries are compared to those of Einstein and standard Weyl theories. It is then shown that the local symmetries of the extended conformal geometry are also natural for the construction of SU(N)-extended conformal supergravity theories in superspace. The natural superspace for the formulation of such theories is one with two sets of four-component fermionic variables which transform oppositely under scale transformations
