Noether gauging procedure

ID: noether-gauging-procedure

Localizing a parameter of a global symmetry produces its Noether current times a derivative of that parameter. Introduce a gauge field with an inhomogeneous transformation and couple it to the Noether current to cancel this variation. Recompute the remaining variation and add the required interaction and transformation terms. Closure of the local symmetry algebra constrains the completion. For supersymmetry, its supercurrent couples to the gravitino, and the translation in the supersymmetry algebra requires a vierbein.
