Abstract: (Elsevier)
We identify the transformations of local supersymmetry as particular combinations of general coordinate transformations and local Lorentz transformations in superspace. Component fields for supergravity are defined as the values at θ = 0 of the supervielbein and (for the auxiliary fields) of certain components of the supertorsion. For chiral and general multiplets they are defined as the values at θ = 0 of (tangent space) spinorial covariant derivatives. We derive the transformation properties for field multiplets and for chiral density multiplets. The same method can be used for general densities. The lagrangian of supergravity in terms of component fields is obtained.- FIELD THEORY: SUPERSYMMETRY
