Three-dimensional supergravity theories
Description
Two three-dimensional supergravity theories are constructed. The first one has eight local supersymmetries as well as an SO(8,n) global symmetry, where n is an arbitrary positive integer. The physical spectrum consists of 8n scalars and 8n spinors. The second theory has sixteen local supersymmetries and an Esub(8.8) global symmetry. The 128 bosons and 128 fermions transform as inequivalent spinors of the SO(16) subalgebra. The theories are formulated without auxiliary scalar fields, which requires that the non-compact symmetries act non-linearly. (orig.)
