Abstract:

We show how a spin 3/2 gravitino field can be localized on a brane in the general framework of supergravity theory. Provided that the scalar field coupled to the Rarita-Schwinger field develops a vacuum expectation value (VEV) whose phase depends on the `radial' coordinate in the extra internal space, the gravitino is localized on a brane with an exponentially decreasing warp factor by selecting an appropriate value of the VEV.
