We present a formulation of the coupling of vector multiplets to N=2 supergravity which is symplectic covariant (and thus is not based on a prepotential) and uses superconformal tensor calculus. We do not start from an action, but from the…
We develop a general setting for N=2 rigid supersymmetric field theories with gauged central charge in harmonic superspace. We consider those N=2 multiplets which have a finite number of off-shell components and exist off shell owing to a…
We investigate N=2, D=5 supersymmetry and matter-coupled supergravity theories in a superconformal context. In a first stage we do not require the existence of a Lagrangian. Under this assumption, we already find at the level of rigid…
Starting from N=1 scalar and vector supermultiplets in 2+1 dimensions, we construct superfields which constitute Lagrangians invariant under N=2 supersymmetries. We first recover the N=2 supersymmetric Abelian-Higgs model and then the N=2…
We address the problem of classifying all N=2 supercurrent multiplets in four space-time dimensions. For this purpose we consider the minimal formulation of N=2 Poincare supergravity with a tensor compensator, and derive its linearized…
We describe generalizations of the manifestly E_{6(6)} covariant formulation of five-dimensional gauged maximal supergravity with regard to the structure of the vector and tensor fields. We indicate how the group-theoretical structures that…
The recent paper arXiv:1205.6881 has developed superform formulations for two versions of the vector-tensor multiplet and their Chern-Simons couplings in four-dimensional N = 2 conformal supergravity. One of them is the standard…
The lagrangian of N=2, D=6 supergravity coupled to E_7 X SU(2) vector- and hyper-multiplets is derived. For this purpose the coset manifold E_8/E_7 X SU(2), parametrized by the scalars of the hypermultiplet, is constructed. A difference…
We present a new, alternative interpretation of the vector-tensor multiplet as a 2-form in central charge superspace. This approach provides a geometric description of the (non-trivial) central charge transformations ab initio and is…
We present an N=2 multiplet including a three-index antisymmetric tensor gauge potential, and describe it as a solution to the Bianchi identities for the associated fieldstrength superform, subject to some covariant constraints, in extended…
We construct the so far unknown Lagrangian of D=6, N=2 F(4) Supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets whose scalars span the coset manifold SO(4,n)/{SO(4) x SO(n)}. This is done first in the ungauged case and then…
We review some properties of the field equations of six-dimensional (1,0) supergravity coupled to tensor and vector multiplets, and in particular their relation to covariant and consistent anomalies and a peculiar Noether identity for the…
We present the description in central charge superspace of N=4 supergravity with antisymmetric tensor coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets. All the gauge vectors of the coupled system are treated on the same footing…
The general Lagrangian for maximal supergravity in five spacetime dimensions is presented with vector potentials in the \bar{27} and tensor fields in the 27 representation of E_6. This novel tensor-vector system is subject to an intricate…
We use newly discovered N = (2, 2) vector multiplets to clarify T-dualities for generalized Kahler geometries. Following the usual procedure, we gauge isometries of nonlinear sigma-models and introduce Lagrange multipliers that constrain…
We consider consistent truncations of N=2 supergravites in the presence of tensor multiplets (dual to hypermultiplets) as they occur in type IIB compactifications on Calabi--Yau orientifolds. We analyze in detail the scalar potentials…
We consider $N=2$ supergravity coupled to $N=2$ Yang--Mills matter and discuss the nature of one--loop divergences. Using $N=1$ superfields and superspace methods, we describe the quantization of the system in the abelian case.
We derive consistent superfield constraints for the linear vector-tensor multiplet with gauged central charge. The central charge transformations and the action turn out to be nonpolynomial in the gauge field.
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.…
We introduce two new N = (2, 2) vector multiplets that couple naturally to generalized Kahler geometries. We describe their kinetic actions as well as their matter couplings both in N = (2, 2) and N = (1, 1) superspace.
