Quantization of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model in N=1 supergravity with gauged supermatter

The theory of N = 1 supergravity with gauged supermatter is studied in the context of a k = + 1 Friedmann mini-superspace model. It is found by imposing the Lorentz and supersymmetry constraints that there are no physical states in the particular SU(2) model studied. When the model is truncated by setting the spin-1, spin- multiplet to zero, a very restricted set of non-zero quantum states is found.
