Gauge internal symmetry in extended supergravity

Extended supergravity theories with global O(2) and SO(3) internal symmetry have recently been constructed, and a mechanism which implements local O(2) and SO(3) gauge invariance is given here. The introduction of a minimal gauge coupling automatically leads to a $\text{spin}\text{-}\text{3}\text{2}$ mass and a cosmological term in order to preserve local supersymmetry. Local internal symmetry for a $\text{spin}\text{-}\text{3}\text{2}$ field is related to spontaneous breakdown of global supersymmetry. Perturbation theory results which confirm the physical consistency of the system are given.
