Supergauge independence of Witten's gravitational energy expression

Deser, S. ORCID icon

Abstract

Witten's proof of positive gravitational energy involved an apparent choice of supergauge, through a constraint on the basic spinor parameter. We show that the value of the energy is, as it must be on supergravity grounds, independent of this choice.
