Chiral Supergravity

TL;DR

This paper explores the linearized form of N=1 topologically massive supergravity around AdS3, demonstrating that under certain boundary conditions, the theory exhibits chiral behavior similar to chiral gravity.

Contribution

It extends the concept of chiral gravity to supergravity by explicitly constructing linearized gravitino fields and analyzing their conserved charges.

Findings

Linearized gravitino fields are explicitly constructed.

Conserved charges show chiral behavior under suitable boundary conditions.

Chiral supergravity can be consistently formulated as an extension of chiral gravity.

Abstract

We study the linearized approximation of N=1 topologically massive supergravity around AdS3. Linearized gravitino fields are explicitly constructed. For appropriate boundary conditions, the conserved charges demonstrate chiral behavior, so that chiral gravity can be consistently extended to chiral supergravity.
