N2 - We develop a technique to compute scalar potentials in extended supergravities in any dimension on a pure group-theoretical basis. The fermionic supersymmetry variations, which determine the potential, only depend on boosted structure constants of a gauge subgroup K ⊂ G of the isometry group G of the scalar manifold G/H. These variations follow from the Bianchi identities of the underlying gauge superalgebra. We apply this method to construct the coupling of N = 3 matter to supergravity.
