Abstract

jats:titleAbstract</jats:title> jats:pIn this paper we study the magnetic charges of the free massless Rarita–Schwinger field in four dimensional asymptotically flat space-time. This is the first step towards extending the study of the dual BMS charges to supergravity. The magnetic charges appear due to the addition of a boundary term in the action. This term is similar to the theta term in Yang–Mills theory. At null-infinity an infinite dimensional algebra is discovered, both for the electric and magnetic charge.</jats:p>
