Phys. Rev. Lett. 38, 1433–1436 (1977)Broken Supersymmetry and SupergravityReceived 5 April 1977; published in the issue dated 20 June 1977 We consider the supersymmetric Higgs effect, in which a spin-½ Goldstone fermion is transformed away by a redefinition of the supergravity fields and the spin-3/2 gauge field acquires the degrees of freedom appropriate to finite mass. More generally we discuss the consistency and physical applicability of supergravity theories with broken local supersymmetry. © 1977 The American Physical Society URL:
