Abstract

We use the Cremmer-Julia E_7(7) non-linear symmetry of N=8 Supergravity to derive its order κ2\kappa^2 on-shell Hamiltonian in terms of one chiral light-cone superfield. By requiring that E_7(7) commute with the super-Poincare group, we deduce to lowest non-trivial order in κ\kappa, the light cone E_7(7) transformations of all fields of the theory, including the graviton. We then derive the dynamical supersymmetry transformation to order κ2\kappa^2, and express the Hamiltonian as a quadratic form in the chiral superfield.
