New Massive Supergravity and Auxiliary Fields    [PDF]

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Marija Kovacevic, Lorena Parra, Jan Rosseel, Yihao Yin, Thomas Zojer
We construct a supersymmetric formulation of linearized New Massive Gravity without introducing higher derivatives. Instead, we introduce supersymmetrically a set of bosonic and fermionic auxiliary fields which, upon elimination by their equations of motion, introduce fourth-order derivative terms for the metric and third-order derivative terms for the gravitino. Our construction requires an off-shell formulation of the three-dimensional supersymmetric massive Fierz--Pauli theory. We discuss the non-linear extension of our results.
