In this paper, the classical and quantum theory of $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity in four spacetime dimensions will be studied in the framework of loop quantum gravity. We discuss the canonical analysis of the supergravity Holst action as first introduced by Tsuda. In this way, we also derive a compact expression of the supersymmetry constraint, which plays a crucial role in canonical supergravity theories, akin to the role of the Hamiltonian constraint in non-supersymmetric generally covariant…

Generalized Lagrangian of N=1 supergravity and its canonical constraints with the real Ashtekar variable
We generalize the Lagrangian of N = 1 supergravity (SUGRA) by using an arbitrary parameter $\xi$, which corresponds to the inverse of Barbero's parameter $\beta$. This generalized Lagrangian involves
