The Definitions of Special Geometry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The scalars in vector multiplets of N=2 supersymmetric theories in 4 dimensions exhibit `special Kaehler geometry', related to duality symmetries, due to their coupling to the vectors. In the literature there is some confusion on the definition of special geometry, which we want to clear up, for rigid as well as for local N=2.
