Review text

In supergravity gravitation is described as a surface in a complex superspace. In general, the equation of the surface may be reduced, using a transformation from the symmetry group, to a normal form which corresponds to a flat superspace. The irregular points in the neighborhood of which such reduction is impossible are associated with singularities of the gravitational field. Authors used \(N=1\) supergravity with the group of special Cauchy-Riemann transformations to construct the Einstein superspace for each Einstein space. This construction is shown to be valid near irregular points. As example the Kasner solution of the gravitational equations is transformed into a \((3,4)\)-dimensional surface consisting of irregular points.
