Abstract

Here we investigate a possible supersymmetric extension for the massive gravity in the lowest non-trivial order. For this purpose we construct a cubic interaction vertex for massive spin-2 and massive spin-3/2 fields restricting ourselves with the terms containing no more than one derivative. In-particular, we look for the possibility to have a non-singular partially massless limit for spin-2 that would corresponds to the partially massless supergravity.
