摘要
Stimulated by ideas occuring in supergravity, we develop a gauge theory of gravity based on a spin-3/2 Majorana field. Our theory has no metric or vierbein as an elementary field. Classically the theory is in complete agreement with Einstein's metric formulation, but quantum mechanically it differs from ordinary formulations, including supergravity, on the fundamental nature of gravitation. In our approach gravitation arises from a collective effect due to spin-3/2 gravitinos. © 1979 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
