Abstract

We consider the specialization to spatially homogenous solutions of the Jacobson formulation of N=1 canonical supergravity in terms of Ashtekar's new variables. We find that the classical Poisson algebra of the supersymmetry constraints is preserved by this specialization only for Bianchi type A models. The quantization of supersymmetric Bianchi type A models is carried out in the triad representation. We find the physical states of this quantum theory. Since we are missing a suitable inner product on these physical states, our results are only formal.
