dc.descriptionThese lectures are intended as a broad introduction to Chern Simons gravity and supergravity. The motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant action -in the sense of fiber bundles- in more than three dimensions, which could provide a firm ground for constructing a quantum theory of the gravitational field. The case of Chern-Simons gravity and its supersymmetric extension for all odd D is presented. No analogous construction is available in even dimensions.
