We present the derivation of the SO(8) supergravity theory by dimensional reduction of the supergravity theory in 11 dimensions to 4 dimensions. It has been found that the equations of motion are invariant under the global non-compact group E7(+7). They can be derived from a family of Lagrangians invariant under a local compact group SU(8). The general procedure to deal with non-compact global internal symmetry without introducing ghosts is discussed in connection with the appearance of an… Expand
