Pràstaro, A.; Regge, T.
The group structure of supergravity. (English)
[J] Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Phys. Théor. 44, 39-89 (1986). ISSN 0246-0211

The authors develop a geometric theory of partial differential equations and use it to define a group manifold structure. This is then used to formulate a theory of supergravity which has a direct interpretation as a fully covariant gauge theory. Previous formulations of supergravity do not seem to have such an interpretation. The authors illustrate their approach by recasting supergravity in 5, 6 and 11 dimensions in their formulation.
