We present general non-supersymmtric domain wall solutions with non-trivial scalar and gauge fields for gauged five-dimensional N=2 supergravity coupled to abelian vector multiplets.
A multiplet calculus is presented for an arbitrary number n of N=2 tensor supermultiplets. For rigid supersymmetry the known couplings are reproduced. In the superconformal case the target spaces parametrized by the scalar fields are cones…
We assume the existence of a background vector field that enables us to make an ansatz for the superconformal transformations for the non-Abelian 6d $(1,0)$ tensor multiplet. Closure of supersymmetry on generators of the conformal algebra,…
In addition to the familiar contribution from a holomorphic function $\FF$, the K\"ahler potential of the scalars in the nonabelian $N=2$ vector multiplet receives contributions from a real function $\HH$. We determine the latter at the…
The vector-tensor multiplet is coupled off-shell to an N=2 vector multiplet such that its central charge transformations are realized locally. A gauged central charge is a necessary prerequisite for a coupling to supergravity and the…
We elaborate on a new N=2, d=3 supermultiplet (double-vector multiplet) with a non-trivial off-shell realization of the central charge. Its bosonic sector comprises two abelian gauge vector fields forming an SO(2) vector. We present a…
The double tensor multiplet of D=4, N=2 supersymmetry, relevant to type IIB superstring vacua, is derived and its gauge invariant and N=2 supersymmetric interactions are analysed, both self-interactions and interactions with vector…
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…
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 propose a nilpotent ${\cal N}=1$ tensor multiplet describing two fields, which are the Goldstino and the axion, the latter being realised in terms of the field strength of a gauge two-form. This supersymmetric multiplet is formulated in…
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 discuss the coupling of vector-tensor multiplets to N=2 supergravity.
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…
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.
We couple in superspace a `dual' vector multiplet (C_{m_1... m_7}, \l^\alpha) to the dual version of N=1 supergravity (e_m{}^a, \psi_m{}^\alpha, M_{m_1... m_6}, \chi_\a,\Phi) in ten-dimensions. Our new 7-form field C has its 8-form field…
An introduction to $N=2$ rigid and local supersymmetry is given. The construction of the actions of vector multiplets is reviewed, defining special K\"ahler manifolds. Symplectic transformations lead to either isometries or symplectic…
We study various N=2 multiplets in four dimensions by looking at the supersymmetric truncation of four dimensional N=3 multiplets. Under supersymmetric truncation, the off-shell N=3 Weyl multiplet reduces to the off-shell N=2 Weyl multiplet…
We reformulate the abelian tensor multiplet on a curved spacetime with at least two supercharges in a cohomological form where all the bosonic and fermionic fields become tensor fields. These tensor fields are rewritten as fields in loop…
A general free differential algebra encoding the anti-Higgs mechanism among two-index antisymmetric tensors and gauge vectors is analyzed at the full group theoretical level. N=2 supergravity in five dimensions coupled to tensor, vector and…
We construct the general four-dimensional N=2 supergravity theory coupled to vector and vector-tensor multiplets only. Consistency of the construction requires the introduction of the vector fields dual to those sitting in the same…
