Field Strengths of Linearized 5D, N = 1 Superfield Supergravity On a 3-Brane

Recently a description of linearized 5D supergravity in 4D, = 1 superspace was presented. By analyzing the on-shell component lagrangian, this description was proven to be Lorentz invariant in five dimensions. This paper describes a geometric formulation of the 5D supergravity in 4D, = 1 superspace. Using this new formalism, the on-shell structure of the previous description is verified from purely superspace methods. This geometric description provides a connection to dimensionally reduced manifestly supersymmetric 5D supergravity.
