Description

A new supergravity theory is presented which is invariant under four separate local supersymmetry transformations. The action is invariant under global SU(4) transformations realized on the fields without use of the equations of motion. In addition, the equations of motion are invariant under a non-compact global SU(1,1) group. The equations of motion of this theory are shown to be equivalent to those of the previously derived SO(4) theory through a redefinition of the field variables involving duality transformations on the vector fields.
