Off-shell Poincare Supergravity

Abstract

We present the action and transformation rules of Poincare supergravity coupled to chiral multiplets $(z^{\alpha },{\chi }^{\alpha },h^{\alpha })$ with off-shell auxiliary fields. Starting from the geometric formulation of the superconformal theory with auxiliary fields, we derive the Poincare counterpart by gauge-fixing the Weyl and chiral symmetry and S-supersymmetry. We show how this transition is facilitated by retaining explicit target-space covariance. Our results form a convenient starting point to study models with constrained superfields, including general matter-coupled de Sitter supergravity.
