Generalized Lagrangian of N = 1 supergravity and its canonical constraints with the real Ashtekar variable

Abstract

We generalize the Lagrangian of N = 1 supergravity (SUGRA) by using an arbitrary parameter $\xi$, which corresponds to the inverse of Barbero's parameter $\beta$. This generalized Lagrangian involves the chiral one as a special case of the value $\xi =\pm i$. We show that the generalized Lagrangian gives the canonical formulation of N = 1 SUGRA with the real Ashtekar variable after the 3+1 decomposition of spacetime. This canonical formulation is also derived from those of the usual N = 1 SUGRA by performing Barbero's type canonical transformation with an arbitrary parameter $\beta (={\xi }^{-1})$. We give some comments on the canonical formulation of the theory.
