The formalism to determine (conformal) isometries of a given curved superspace was elaborated almost two decades ago in the context of the old minimal formulation for N=1 supergravity in four dimensions (4D). This formalism is universal,…

We apply a global and geometrically well-defined formalism for spinor-dilaton-gravity to two-dimensional manifolds. We discuss the general formalism and focus attention on some particular choices of the dilatonic potential. For constant…

We find the defining equations for a Killing vector and its superpartner (called the generalized Killing spinor) and use them to construct the generalized Komar superform of minimal N=2, d=4 supergravity using the superspace formulation.…
