Supergravity is intrinsically associated with Stony Brook. It may well be the most significant physics discovery in the entire history of the Yang Institute. Since 1976, many researchers have worked to generalize the basic theory we found and apply it to the physics of elementary particles and gravity. Along the way supergravity has made contact with frontline mathematics, notably geometry and topology. The records of the Inspire archive vouchsafe for the fact that supergravity has become a major subject in theoretical physics. There are 6242 papers in which the word supergravity appears in the title and 19868 additional papers in which it is a keyword. (Keywords primarily appear in the abstract.)
