By introducing a nonlinearly transforming goldstino field non-super\-sym\-metric matter can be coupled to supergravity. This implies the possibility of coupling a standard model with one Higgs to supergravity.
We describe the low-energy effective theory of N=1 spontaneously broken supegravity obtained by flux-induced breaking in the presence of n D3 branes. This theory can be obtained by integrating out three massive gravitino multiplets in the…

We present $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal $\mathsf{U}(1)$ duality-invariant models for an Abelian vector multiplet coupled to conformal supergravity. In a Minkowski background, such a nonlinear theory is expected to describe (the planar…

We give an off-shell formulation of the N=2 supersymmetric new nonlinear vector-tensor multiplet. Interactions arise in this model as a consequence of gauging the central charge of the supersymmetry algebra, which in contrast to previous…
In this paper we review the rigid limit of N=2 supergravity coupled to vector and hypermultiplets. In particular we show how the respective scalar field spaces reduce to their global counterparts. In the hypermultiplet sector we focus on…

Within the framework of six-dimensional ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ conformal supergravity, we introduce new off-shell multiplets ${\cal O}{}^{*}(n)$, where $n=3,4,\dots,$ and use them to construct higher-rank extensions of the linear multiplet…
In the framework of superfield approach, we derive the local, covariant, continuous and nilpotent (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST symmetry transformations on the U(1) gauge field $(A_\mu)$ and the (anti-)ghost fields $((\bar C)C)$ of the…
In view of extending gauge/gravity dualities with flavour beyond the probe approximation, we establish the gravity dual description of mesons for a three-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matter. For this purpose we…
We give exact solutions for a recently developed ~$N=1$~ locally supersymmetric self-dual gauge theories in $~(2+2)\-$dimensions. We give the exact solutions for an $~SL(2)$~ self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet and what we call ``self-dual…
We present the {\it canonical} set of superspace constraints for self-dual supergravity, a ``self-dual'' tensor multiplet and a self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet with $~N=1~$ supersymmetry in the space-time with signature $(+,+,-,-)$. For this…
In these lectures we discuss N-extended conformal supergravity and its spectrum in four dimensions. These theories can be considered as the massless limit of Einstein-Weyl supergravity and by taking into account their enhanced gauge…
We present supersymmetric solutions for the theory of gauged supergravity in five dimensions obtained by gauging the shift symmetry of the axion of the universal hypermultiplet. This gauged theory can also be obtained by dimensionally…

In this paper the variant supercurrents based on consistency and completion in off-shell N=1 supergravity are studied. We formulate the embedding relations for supersymmetric current and energy tensor into supercurrent multiplet.…
Subsets of a matrix algebra over a field that are invariant under conjugation and contain the linear span of each two of their commuting elements are described. They obviously include the subsets of diagonalizable and nilpotent matrices. In…
