Local supersymmetry in supergravity

Abstract

We have studied the local supersymmetry in two D = 4 supergravity models, with N = 1 and N = 2, given the Lagrangians. We have used a simple method based on the differential of the action H, which provides an alternative systematic derivation of the gauge field variations in the first order formalism. This method may be used to find non-relativistic limits of supergravity models.
