Description

Abstract: The geometry of supergravity is extensively studied in two different frameworks:
Superspace and Group Manifold Approach (a.k.a. Rheonomy).
Both techniques have advantages and drawbacks, but apparently the integral forms are able to relate the two approaches fusing them within the geometry of supermanifolds.
We present a short introduction to these new techniques and some applications to supergravity.
