CHIRAL ANOMALY IN d=4, N=1 SUPERGRAVITY
Abstract
The chiral U(1) anomaly in d=4, N=1 supergravity is evaluated on the basis of the heat kernel method. We consider all gravitino interactions of the theory, i.e. not only the minimal coupling of gravitino and gravitational fields, but also four-gravitino interactions which are treated as two-gravitino interactions in the background field method. We show the explicit form of a new contribution from the four-gravitino interactions to the anomaly.
