TLDR
In this article, a unified geometric formulation of gravitation and supergravity is presented, which is constructed out of the components of the curvature tensor for bundle spaces with four-dimensional Lorentz base manifold and structure groups Sp(4) for gravity and OSp(1, 4) for supergravity.Abstract:
A unified geometric formulation of gravitation and supergravity is presented. The action for these theories is constructed out of the components of the curvature tensor for bundle spaces with four-dimensional Lorentz base manifold and structure groups Sp(4) for gravity and OSp(1,4) for supergravity. The requirement of invariance under reflections, local Lorentz transformations, and general coordinate transformations uniquely determines the action and ensures the existence of local supersymmetry in supergravity.read more

A new perspective on covariant canonical gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach to the covariant canonical formulation of Einstein?Cartan gravity that preserves the full Lorentz group as the local gauge group is presented. But the method exploits lessons learned from gravity in 2+1 dimensions regarding the relation between gravity and a general gauge theory.

Cheng-Hao Wei,Bo Ning +1 more
TL;DR: For general stationary spacetime and specific Killing fields, Wald's approach for quasi-local energy could be generalized to the first order formalism straightforwardly without introducing the Lorentz-Lie derivative.

Constrained gauge-gravity duality in three and four dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the equivalence between Chern-Simons and Einstein-Hilbert actions in three dimensions was generalized to the off-shell case, where specific geometric constraints are needed.

Four‑Dimensional Gravity on a Covariant Noncommutative Space (II)
TL;DR: In this paper, a more extended description of the covariant noncommutative space (fuzzy 4-dim de Sitter space), which accommodates the gravity model, is presented and corresponding field equations, which are obtained after variation of the previously proposed action, are extracted.
