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

String Dynamics and Higher Spin Anti-de Sitter Gravity
TL;DR: Jin et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a general method for constructing string solutions based on the reduction of string sigma models to integrable equations of sinh-Gordon or more generally Toda type.

Symplectic analysis of three-dimensional Abelian topological gravity
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed Faddeev-Jackiw quantization of an Abelian topological gravity is performed; this formalism is equivalent and more economical than Dirac's method.

De sitter plane wave and plane wave like solutions of so(4,1) gauge field equations
TL;DR: In this article, a new classical solution to the sourceless SO(4,1) gauge field equations is presented by identifying the internal symmetry indices with the space-time symmetry indices in analogy with the cases of the instanton or the meron solutions.
