We consider the supersymmetric Higgs effect, in which a spin-\textonehalf{} Goldstone fermion is transformed away by a redefinition of the supergravity fields and the spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ gauge field acquires the degrees of freedom appropriate to finite mass. More generally we discuss the consistency and physical applicability of supergravity theories with broken local supersymmetry.

We determine the effective gravitational couplings in superspace whose components reproduce the supergravity Higgs effect for the constrained Goldstino multiplet. It reproduces the known Gravitino
Fermionic Goldstone-Higgs Effect in (2+1)-Dimensional Supergravity
• Physics
• 1978
The non-linear spinor realisation of global supersymmetry is consistently coupled to supergravity in (2+1) dimensions. The resulting local invariance permits gauging away of the spinor field, while
