Abstract
We study linearized perturbations of eleven-dimensional Chern-Simons supergravity. The action contains a term that changes the value of the cosmological constant, as considered by Horava. It is shown that the spectrum contains a 3-form and a 6-form whose field strengths are dual to each other, thus providing a link with the eleven-dimensional supergravity of Cremmer, Julia and Scherk. The linearized equations for the graviton and Rarita-Schwinger field are shown to be the standard ones as well.
