## Abstract We present a pedagogical discussion of the emergence of gauged supergravities from Mβtheory. First, a review of maximal supergravity and its global symmetries and supersymmetric solutions is given. Next, different procedures of dimensional reduction are explained: reductions over a toru
An explicitly SL(2, C) gauge-invariant Lagrangian density, equivalent to Hilbert's Lagrangian density, is written, and a Palatini-type variational principle is applied to it. The resulting field equations are Einstein's equations written in dyad notation and a set of equations defining the spin coef
## Abstract We review recent progress in the gauging of maximal supergravity theories.
