Supergravity as a constrained BF theory
read the original abstract
In this paper we formulate ${\cal N}=1$ supergravity as a constrained $BF$ theory with $OSp(4|1)$ gauge superalgebra. We derive the modified supergravity Lagrangian that, apart from the standard supergravity with negative cosmological constant, contains terms proportional to the (inverse of) Immirzi parameter. Although these terms do not change classical field equations, they might be relevant in quantum theory. We briefly discuss the perturbation theory around the supersymmetric topological vacuum.

Charges of supergravity
In N=1 supergravity as constrained BF theory, the algebra of boundary charges matches the superalgebra with translational charges vanishing on-shell from the super-torsion constraint.
