Higher fermions in supergravity

Abstract

We show that the generalised geometry formalism provides a new approach to the description of higher-fermion terms in $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity in ten dimensions, which does not appeal to supercovariantisation or superspace. We find expressions containing only five higher-fermion terms across the action and supersymmetry transformations, working in the second-order formalism.
