Topological Symmetries of Twisted N=2 Chiral Supergravity in Ashtekar Formalism

Abstract

In this paper a topological theory of gravity is studied on a four-manifold using the formalism of Capovilla et al. We show that it is fact equivalent to Anselmi and Fre's topological gravity using the topological symmetries. Using this formalism gives us a new way to study topological gravity and the intersection theory of gravitational instantons if the (3+1) decomposition with respect to local coordinates is performed.
