This is the website for the reading group on the rheonomic approach to supergravity, organised by Andrew Beckett within the Edinburgh Mathematical Physics Group.
The D'Auria-Fré formulation of supergravity, also known as the rheonomic or geometric formulation, is an approach which attempts to cast supergravity in a more “geometric” formalism. In this reading group, we will follow the work of D'Auria, Fré, and Castellani and try to understand this approach.
In Semester 1 of 2020-21, we meet on Zoom every Thursday at 12:00-13:30. Click here for the Zoom call. Participants will be emailed the password. You can see the notes from each of the meetings by clicking the titles below. Guillaume has been typing up his notes from the reading group in LaTeX and is making them available on GitHub.
