Description

The authors review the Soft Group Manifold (SGM) method of gauging a non-internal group. Applications to three different versions of Extended Supergravity are presented. They then summarize the geometric identification of the ghost fields and BRS equations, another aspect of the Group Manifold method. They apply the results to Supergravity and provide a completion of the proof of Unitarity of Sterman, Townsend and Van Nieuwenhuizen. (Auth.)
