Canonical Analysis of a System with Fermionic Gauge Symmetry

Abstract

A non-Abelian gauge field with a topological action is coupled to a spin 3/2 Majorana spinor. The symmetries of this model are analyzed using the Dirac constraint formalism. These symmetries include a Fermionic symmetry and the algebra of these symmetries closes; it is not the algebra of supergravity. The action is invariant without the need to introduce auxiliary fields.
