Abstract

Using the recently established tensor calculus for supergravity, we construct the most general action for the scalar multiplet coupling. We discuss under which conditions supersymmetry is broken spontaneously and show explicitly that the gravitino acquires a mass by absorbing the Goldstone fermion. Parity violation as well as a cosmological constant can be avoided.
