Free differential algebras and generic 2D dilatonic (super)gravities
arXiv:hep-th/9807007 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.59.084017
Abstract
The field equations for both generic bosonic and generic locally supersymmetric 2D dilatonic gravity theories in the absence of matter are written as free differential algebras. This constitutes a generalization of the gauge theoretic formulation. Moreover, it is shown that the condition of free differential algebra can be used to obtain the equations in the locally supersymmetric case. Using this formulation, the general solution of the field equations is found in the language of differential forms. The relation with the ordinary formulation and the coupling to supersymmetric conformal matter are also studied.
