Abstract: (Elsevier)

The conjectured SU(8) invariance of the field equations of SO(8) extended supergravity is used to elucidate the general structure of the extended theories. Due to the representation content of the spinless fields this does not lead to a complete determination of the theory, as was the case for N = 4. The non-polynomial modifications by spinless fields are given in terms of a number of SU(8) covariant tensors, for which various identities are derived and discussed.
