Three-dimensional Poincar\'e supergravity and $\mathcal{N}$-extended supersymmetric BMS$_{3}$ algebra

Abstract

A new approach for obtaining the three-dimensional Chern-Simons supergravity for the Poincar\'e algebra is presented. The $\mathcal{N}$-extended Poincar\'e supergravity is obtained by expanding the super Lorentz theory. We extend our procedure to their respective asymptotic symmetries and show that the $\mathcal{N}=(1,2,4)$ super-BMS$_{3}$ appear as expansions of one Virasoro superalgebra. Interestingly, the $\mathcal{N}$-extended super-BMS$_{3}$ obtained here are not only centrally extended but also endowed with internal symmetry. We also show that the $\mathcal{N}$-extended super Poincar\'e algebras with both central and automorphism generators are finite subalgebras.
