Boundary Terms in Supergravity and Supersymmetry
arXiv:hep-th/0606075 · doi:10.1142/S0218271806009017
Abstract
We begin with the simplest possible introduction to supergravity. Then we discuss its spin 3/2 stress tensor; these results are new. Next, we discuss boundary conditions on fields and boundary actions for N=1 supergravity. Finally, we discuss new boundary contributions to the mass and central charge of monopoles in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. All models are in 3+1 dimensions.
