Abstract

We present results on the scalar supermultiplet coupled to supergravity. A locally supersymmetric theory with generalized kinetic and nonderivative interaction terms is found. We discuss a number of examples. Symmetry breakdown and the "super-Higgs" effect are studied, as is a consistent truncation of the SO(4) extended theory. Finally, we find the local extension of supersymmetric massless QED and discuss symmetry breakdown in this system.
