Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using a new technique of dimensional reduction by Legendre transformation we derive an off-shell formulation of the N = 8 extended supersymmetry algebra, which is realised in the maximally extended supergravity theory. The theory has an Sp(8) manifest global invariance and some of the fields satisfy differential constraints.
