This follows from the eleven-form CS-potential of the most general linear combination of closed, gauge invariant twelve-forms involving the sp(32)-valued two-form curvatures supplemented by a three-form field. In this construction, the role of the skewsymmetric four-index auxiliary function needed for the first order formulation of D= 11supergravity is played by the gauge field associated with the five Lorentz indices generator of the bosonic sp(32) subalgebra of osp(1|32). %R 10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2017.08.015 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08772 %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2017.08.015 %P 633-652
