Abstract: (APS)

We complete our program of constructing the gauge theory of the superconformal group, and show that the previously proposed action is completely invariant under both local supersymmetries. The gauge algebra closes off-shell as well as on-shell. A flat-space model with a local supersymmetry is also presented.

supergravity: conformal
gauge field theory
field theory: action
field theory: constraint
supersymmetry: transformation
algebra: gauge
