Abstract: (Elsevier)

We solve the problem of what the minimal set of auxiliary fields of supergravity is, needed to close the gauge algebra, and present the invariant action. The result is simple: only a scalar, a pseudoscalar and an axial world vector field are needed. Our approach is closely related to superspace geometry.
