Description
We present a simple derivation of on-shell N = 2 supergravity by using fibre bundle analysis; this is done by introducing a central charge as a part of the connection in a principal bundle whose structure group is the super-Poincare group. As a consequence there is non-trival generalization of the supersymmetry transformations. (orig.)
