Higher fermions in supergravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-04-09 v2

Abstract

We show that the generalised geometry formalism provides a new approach to the description of higher-fermion terms in N=1\mathcal N=1 supergravity in ten dimensions, which does not appeal to supercovariantisation or superspace. We find expressions containing only five higher-fermion terms across the action and supersymmetry transformations, working in the second-order formalism.
