Progress toward a theory of supergravity
Abstract
As a new approach to supergravity, an action containing only vierbein and Rarita-Schwinger fields (${V}_{a\ensuremath{\mu}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\psi}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$) is presented together with supersymmetry transformations for these fields. The action is explicitly shown to be invariant except for a ${\ensuremath{\psi}}^{5}$ term in its variation. This term may also vanish, depending on a complicated calculation. (Added note: This term has now been shown to vanish by a computer calculation, so that the action presented here does possess full local supersymmetry.)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
