Aleph-Null Extended Supergravity and Chern-Simons Theories
Abstract
We give generalizations of extended Poincar\'e supergravity with {\it arbitrarily many} supersymmetries in the absence of central charges in three-dimensions by gauging its intrinsic global ~ symmetry. We call these \alephnull (Aleph-Null) supergravity theories. We further couple a non-Abelian supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory and an Abelian topological BF theory to \alephnull supergravity. Our result overcomes the previous difficulty for supersymmetrization of Chern-Simons theories beyond . This feature is peculiar to the Chern-Simons and BF theories including supergravity in three-dimensions. We also show that dimensional reduction schemes for four-dimensional theories such as ~ self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory or ~ supergravity theory that can generate \alephnull globally and locally supersymmetric theories in three-dimensions. As an interesting application, we present \alephnull supergravity Liouville theory in two-dimensions after appropriate dimensional reduction from three-dimensions.
