Gravitino-induced torsion

ID: gravitino-induced-torsion

With canonical Rarita-Schwinger field normalization, one convention gives the displayed torsion tensor. Its contorsion tensor is . The algebraic spin connection equation determines ; substituting it in the action produces four-fermion terms. This is an instance of Einstein-Cartan theory and is efficiently varied using the 1.5-order formalism. A rescaled gravitino changes the displayed coefficient.
