type kinetic terms). It turns out that two different theories exist in the first order formulation, both SU(1,4) 0 U(1) gauge invariant and supersymmetric. Going to the second order formalism the two theories become identical and the spin 1 kinetic term is generated. The dichotomy present in the first order version of the theory may be of some importance for quantization. The introduction of a cosmological constant and the reintroduction of the noncontracted group SU(2, 2/l) is trivial in this approach as in N = 1 supergravity. At the end of the paper we explicitly exhibit the de Sitter version of the theory. It must be noted that this is only the second example of a completely pure geometrical supersymmetric theory known to date. By pure we mean that no other field except the Lie Algebra valued lform potential is needed.

In this paper an algebraic approach to canonical quantization on indefinite inner product space is presented. Concrete realization of such quantization of given classical system described by a symplectic space (M. a) is obtained by means of so called ./\*-representation of CCR algebra d(M, 0). So-ca
