Abstract
In this contribution, emphasizing new developments, we plan to review the group manifold-rheonomic symmetry approach to super- gravity1,2 which has already been presented to other conferences3. In particular, we want to emphasize the central role of the mathematical concept of the graded Lie algebra cohomology class, which gives a constructive criterion for Lagrangians and which was not discussed in previous papers. The cohomological foundations of geometrical theories will be fully explained in a forthcoming paper4.
