Abstract

We propose an N=3{\mathcal N}=3 nonlinear multiplet coupled to conformal supergravity and use it to formulate the equations of motion for N=3{\mathcal N} = 3 Poincar\'e supergravity. These equations, which are naturally described in a new curved supergeometry with structure group SL(2,C)\mathsf{SL}(2,\mathbb{C}), imply that the N=3{\mathcal N} = 3 super-Bach tensor vanishes, and thus every solution of Poincar\'e supergravity is a solution of conformal supergravity. The aforementioned superspace formulation, which we refer to as N=3\mathcal N=3 Einstein superspace, is described in terms of two dimension-1/21/2 superfields: (i) the super-Weyl spinor WαW_\alpha; and (ii) a spinor isospinor χαi\chi_\alpha^i.
