Abstract
Properties of the superspace formulation of supergravity and gauge supersymmetry are examined. The interrelations between the two theories are described. The existence of the supergravity torsion in the Riemannian superspace of gauge supersymmetry is explained. The ultraviolet finiteness of gauge supersymmetry to arbitrary loop order is discussed. The finiteness is shown using the Green’s functions in the linearized harmonic gauge. The general status of gauge supersymmetry and supergravity is commented on.
