We compute certain spinorial cohomology groups controlling possible supersymmetric deformations of eleven-dimensional supergravity up to order l3 in the Planck length. At (l) and (l2) the spinorial cohomology groups are trivial and therefore the theory cannot be deformed supersymmetrically. At (l3) the corresponding spinorial cohomology group is generated by a nontrivial element. On an eleven-dimensional manifold M such that p1(M)≠0, this element corresponds to a supersymmetric deformation of… Expand
