Description
In this talk I will discuss how Verdier–Poincaré duality specializes to families of supermanifolds in a relative setting. I will then show how this framework yields a genuinely supergeometric (and mathematically rigorous) formulation of supergravity. In particular, it provides a conceptual bridge between the component, geometric, and superspace approaches, clarifying their equivalence as different presentations of the same underlying structure.
