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…

We present a geometrical description of N=8 supergravity, using central charge superspace. The essential properties of the multiplet, like self-duality properties of the vectors or the non-linear sigma model structure of the scalars, are…

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.

We present a six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric higher gauge theory in which self-duality is consistently implemented by physically trivial additional fields. The action contains both $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ tensor and vector…

We study supervertices in six dimensional (2,0) supergravity theories, and derive supersymmetry non-renormalization conditions on the 4- and 6-derivative four-point couplings of tensor multiplets. As an application, we obtain exact…

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…

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 continue the study of the duality between super-correlators and scattering super-amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM. We provide a number of further examples supporting the conjectured duality relation between these two seemingly different…

We study the effect of all matter multiplets contained in {\bf 27} representation of $E_6$ GUT on gauge coupling unification in extra dimensions. Extra members of {\bf 27} multiplets of all three generations have their `zero modes' near…

We formulate a supersymmetric version of gravity with mimetic dark matter. The coupling of a constrained chiral multiplet to N=1 supergravity is made locally supersymmetric using the rules of tensor calculus. The chiral multiplet is…

We construct matter-coupled N=2 supergravity in five dimensions, using the superconformal approach. For the matter sector we take an arbitrary number of vector-, tensor- and hyper-multiplets. By allowing off-diagonal vector-tensor couplings…

We suggest a supergravity dual for the $(1,0)$ superconformal field theory in six dimensions which has $E_8$ global symmetry. Compared to the description of the (2,0) field theory, the 4-sphere is replaced by a 4-hemisphere, or by…
