Description

A four-dimensional supergravity toy model in an arbitrary self-dual gravi-photon background is constructed in Euclidean space, by freezing out the gravi-photon field strength in the standard N = (1, 1) extended supergravity with two non-chiral gravitini. Our model has local N = (1/2, 0) supersymmetry. Consistency of the model requires the background gravi-photon field strength to be equal to the self-dual (bilinear) anti-chiral gravitino condensate.
