Abstract: (Elsevier)
We construct the ( p , q )-type anti-de Sitter (adS) supergravity theories associated with the three-dimensional adS supergroups OSp (p|2; R )⊗ OSp (q|2; R ) . They are distinguished, for N = p + q , by the gravitini mass-matrix, which has signature p − q . We show that the action can be written as the integral of the Chern-Simons three-form associated with the (adS) supergroup.
