Supergravity logo #21000 In theoretical physics, supergravity (supergravity theory; SUGRA for short) is a field theory that combines the principles of supersymmetry and general relativity. Together, these imply that, in supergravity, the supersymmetry is a local symmetry (in contrast to non-gravitational supersymmetric theories, such as the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard...

supergravity

supergravity logo #21160A class of point-particle theories, developed in the 1970s, which attempted to unify general relativity and supersymmetry. It employed 11 dimensions – the conventional four of ordinary spacetime plus seven compactified dimensions, effectively rolled up into a higher-dimensional sphere. Althoug...
