Abstract

Using simple symmetry arguments we classify the ungauged D=4D=4, N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supergravity theories, coupled to both vector and hyper multiplets through homogeneous scalar manifolds, that can be built as the product of N=2\mathcal{N}=2 and N=0\mathcal{N}=0 matter-coupled Yang-Mills gauge theories. This includes all such supergravities with two isolated exceptions: pure supergravity and the T3T^3 model.
