supergravitation
Sign in to saveAlso known as supergravity theory, SUGRA
In theoretical physics, supergravity (supergravity theory; SUGRA for short) is a modern field theory that combines the principles of supersymmetry and general relativity; this is in contrast to non-gravitational supersymmetric theories such as the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Supergravity is the gauge theory of local supersymmetry. Since the supersymmetry (SUSY) generators form together with the Poincaré algebra and superalgebra, called the super-Poincaré algebra, supersymmetry as a gauge theory makes gravity arise in a natural way.

Supergravitation är en typ av kvantfältteori där man vill knyta ihop supersymmetri och den allmänna relativitetsteorin till en modell med punktpartiklar som liknar standardmodellen. I supergravitationsteorier finns precis som i supersträngteorierna gravitoner som inte har någon massa och spinn 2. Supersymmetrin kräver också dess supersymmetriska partner (spartikel), gravitinon.
