Abstract: (APS)
The Einstein multiplet Wa is constructed and extra terms in its transformation laws, due to the index a, are found. Application of the tensor calculus to the Einstein, Weyl, and scalar curvature multiplets yields (i) supersymmetric off-shell complete extensions of the multiplet of anomalies, (ii) the super-Gauss-Bonnet theorem, (iii) topological invariants of supergravity. The latter coincide with those of general relativity.
