We construct the three-dimensional supergravity theory with cosmological, Einstein–Hilbert, Lorentz Chern–Simons, and general curvature squared terms. We determine the general supersymmetric configuration, and find a family of supersymmetric adS vacua with the supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum as a limiting case. Linearizing about the Minkowski vacuum, we find three classes of unitary theories; one is the supersymmetric extension of the recently discovered ‘massive 3D gravity’. Another is a ‘new topologically massive supergravity’ (with no Einstein–Hilbert term) that propagates a single helicity supermultiplet.

Off-shell supergravity-matter couplings in three dimensions (2011, background): “Recently, there have appeared exciting results on massive 3D supergravity [13, 14, 15] which is a supersymmetric extension of the so-called new massive 3D gravity [16].”
On the new massive gravity and AdS/CFT (2010, background): “Recently a higher derivative theory of gravity has been proposed [1] in 2+1 dimensions which has nice properties[2, 3, 4, 5]; it is parity preserving and unitary–it has been christened “new massive gravity (NMG)”.”
AdS and Lifshitz black holes in conformal and Einstein-Weyl gravities (2012, background): “nstein-Hilbert action, after truncating out modes with logarithmic fall-oﬀ by imposing an appropriate boundary condition of AdS3. (See, for example, [4].) Supersymmetric extensions were considered in [5]-[9]. The situation is rather more subtle in four dimensions. An analogous “critical gravity” in ”
Massive Gravity (2014, background): “An N = 1 supergravity extension of NMG including the topologically massive gravity terms was given in [21] and further generalized in [67].”
