4D supersymmetric gauge theories of spacetime translations
Friedemann Brandt
The paper addresses the question whether in four spacetime dimensions, besides standard supergravity theories, field theories exist whose symmetries include local spacetime transla…
Comment on "A Candidate for a Supergravity Anomaly"
Friedemann Brandt
In a recent paper (arXiv:2110.06213v1) it was argued that in 4D supergravity a previously unknown candidate anomaly exists. In the present paper it is pointed out that the existenc…
Properties of an alternative off-shell formulation of 4D supergravity
Friedemann Brandt
This article elaborates on an off-shell formulation of D=4, N=1 supergravity whose auxiliary fields comprise an antisymmetric tensor field without gauge degrees of freedom. In part…
Consistent interactions of Curtright fields
Friedemann Brandt
Consistent self-interactions of Curtright fields (Lorentz tensors with (2,1) Young diagram index symmetry) are constructed in dimensions 5 and 7. Most of them modify the gauge tran…
Counterpart of the Weyl tensor for Rarita-Schwinger type fields
Friedemann Brandt
In dimensions larger than 3 a modified field strength for Rarita-Schwinger type fields is constructed whose components are not constrained by the field equations. In supergravity t…
Supersymmetry algebra cohomology IV: Primitive elements in all dimensions from D=4 to D=11
Friedemann Brandt
The primitive elements of the supersymmetry algebra cohomology as defined in previous work are derived for standard supersymmetry algebras in dimensions D=5,...,11 for all signatur…
