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 model for AdS gravity and higher spins
TL;DR: In this article, a string sigma-model with a low-energy limit was constructed, which describes the anti-de Sitter gravity and spin 3 massless fields in Vasiliev's framelike formalism.

Einstein gravity as the low energy effective theory of Weyl gravity
TL;DR: The Weyl theory of gravity is asymptotically free; for energies below the Planck scale, the coupling becomes strong as mentioned in this paper and the elementary vierbein fields then form a massless spin 2 bound state, whose low energy effective action is Einstein theory.

On higher spin symmetries in AdS 5
TL;DR: In this article, a special embedding of the SU(4) algebra in SU(10), including both spin two and spin three symmetry generators, is constructed, and a possible five dimensional action for massless spin 2 and 3 fields with cubic interaction is constructed.

Generalized AdS-Lorentz deformed supergravity on a manifold with boundary
TL;DR: In this article, a supersymmetric extension of a Gauss-Bonnet-like term is proposed to restore the supersymmetry invariance of a particular supergravity theory, which is referred to as D = 4 generalized AdS-Lorentz deformed supergravity.

Dual formulation for higher spin gauge fields in (A)dSd
TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained dual actions for spin s ⩾ 2 massless fields in ( A dS d ) by solving different algebraic constraints in the same first-order theory.
