We discuss rupergravity from an S-matrix point of view. Kinematical constraints on helicity amplitudes determine the spin-2 and spin-3/2 Born amplitudes almos! uniquely, and force Born ar.lplitudes in~olving spin-5 / 2 fermions to vanish. Global supersymmetry is then used to determine the Born amplitudes con~pletely. We suggest that Lorentz invariance, presence of only one (dimensional) coupling io!~stdiit K, and global supersymmetry lead to a unique locally supergauge-invnrii~!~~ theory of spin-2 and spin-3/2 particles. We draw similar conclusions for a model uniting supergmvity and the Wess-Zurnino scalar multiplrt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
