We study compactification of five dimensional ungauged N=2 supergravity coupled to vector- and hypermultiplets on orbifold $S^1/Z_2$. In the model the vector multiplets scalar manifold is arbitrary while the hypermultiplet scalars span a…
We present an alternative N=2 supergravity multiplet coupled to n copies of vector multiplets and n' copies of hypermultiplets in five dimensions. Our supergravity multiplet contains a single antisymmetric tensor and a dilaton, which are…

We study a minimal model of U(N) gauged N=2 supergravity with one hypermultiplet parametrizing SO(4,1)/SO(4) quaternionic manifold. Local N=2 supersymmetry is known to be spontaneously broken to N=1 in the Higgs phase of U(1)_{graviphoton}…
We study the gauge/gravity duality for theories with four dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetries. We consider the large class of generalized quiver field theories constructed recently by one of us (D.G.). These field theories can also be…
We perform all possible supersymmetric truncations of the four-dimensional N=3 dilaton Weyl multiplet, which realizes an R-symmetry $SU(2) \times U(1) \times U(1)$, to N=2. A particular truncation procedure does not break any of the…
We consider 2+1 dimensional off-shell N = 1 pure supergravity that is constructed from graviton, gravitino and auxiliary field. We show that the $R^2$ supersymmetric invariant and $R^2_{\mu \nu}$ supersymmetric invariant are expressed as…
A unique feature of N=6 conformal supergravity in three dimensions is that the super Cotton tensor W^{IJKL} can equivalently be viewed, via the Hodge duality, as the field strength of an Abelian vector multiplet, W^{IJ}. Using this…
We present the action for a self-dual tensor in six dimensions, coupled to a (2,0) conformal supergravity background. This action gives rise to the expected equations of motion. An alternative look upon one of the gauge symmetries clarifies…

Recent advances in curved N=2 superspace methods have rendered the component reduction of superspace actions more feasible than in the past. In this paper, we consider models involving both vector and tensor multiplets coupled to…
The issue of constructing an N=4 superconformal mechanics in one dimension is reconsidered with a special emphasis put on the realizations of the su(2)-subalgebra in the full su(1,1|2)-superalgebra. New dynamical realizations of su(1,1|2)…
New dilaton Weyl multiplets are constructed in four and five space-time dimensions for $N=4$ and $N=2$ conformal supergravity respectively. They are constructed from a mixture of the old dilaton weyl multiplets with an on-shell vector…
The constraints of the superfield method in two-dimensional supergravity are adapted to allow for nonvanishing bosonic torsion. As the analysis of the Bianchi identities reveals, a new vector superfield is encountered besides the well-known…

Based on the known non-linear transformation rules of the Weyl multiplet fields, the action of $N=4$ conformal supergravity is constructed up to terms quadratic in the fermion fields. The bosonic sector corrects a recent result in the…
We propose two new realizations of the N=4, $\hat{c}=4$ superconformal system based on the compact and non-compact versions of parafermionic algebras. The target space interpretation of these systems is given in terms of four-dimensional…
