Description

Considering supergravity theory is a natural step in the development of gravity models. This paper follows the "algebraic" path and constructs possible extensions of the Poincaré and Anti-de-Sitter algebras, which inherit their basic commutation structure. Previously achieved results of this type are fragmentary and show only a limited fraction of possible algebraic realizations. Our paper presents the newly obtained symmetry algebras, evaluated within an efficient pattern-based computational method of generating the so-called 'resonating' algebraic structures. These supersymmetric extensions of algebras, going beyond the Poincaré and Anti-de Sitter ones, contain additional bosonic generators Zab (Lorentz-like), and Ua (translational-like) added to the standard Lorentz generator Jab and translation generator Pa. Our analysis includes all cases up to two fermionic supercharges, Qα and Yα. The delivered plethora of superalgebras includes few past results and offers a vastness of new examples. The list of the cases is complete and contains all superalgebras up to two of Lorentz-like, translation-like, and supercharge-like generators (J P + Q) + (ZU + Y) = J PZU+QY. In the latter class, among 667 founded superalgebras, the 264 are suitable for direct supergravity construction. For each of them, one can construct a unique supergravity model defined by the Lagrangian. As an example, we consider one of the algebra configurations and provide its Lagrangian realization.
