The graviton is the quantum of the field of gravity.
In first-order formulation of gravity a field configuration is locally a Lie algebra-valued form
with values in the Poincare Lie algebra.
This is a vielbein and a spin connection . This together is the graviton field.
In supergravity this is accompanied by the gravitino.
