Bosonic physical states in N=1 supergravity?
S. M. Carroll, D. Z. Freedman, M. E. Ortiz +1
It is argued that states in supergravity that solve all of the constraint equations cannot be bosonic in the sense of being independent of the fermionic degrees of freedom. (…
Consequences of Propagating Torsion in Connection-Dynamic Theories of Gravity
Sean M. Carroll, George B. Field
We discuss the possibility of constraining theories of gravity in which the connection is a fundamental variable by searching for observational consequences of the torsion degrees…
Physical States in Canonically Quantized Supergravity
Sean M. Carroll, Daniel Z. Freedman, Miguel E. Ortiz +1
We discuss the canonical quantization of supergravity in the functional Schrodinger representation. Although the form of the supersymmetry constraints suggests that there are…
