Components of eleven-dimensional supergravity with four off-shell supersymmetries

bstract We derive the component structure of 11D, N = 1/8 supergravity linearized around eleven-dimensional Minkowski space. This theory represents 4 local supersymmetries closing onto 4 of the 11 spacetime translations without the use of equations of motion. It may be interpreted as adding 201 auxiliary bosons and 56 auxiliary fermions to the physical supergravity multiplet for a total of 376 + 376 components. These components and their transformations are organized into representations of SL(2; C ) × G 2 .
