$\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal gravitino in harmonic superspace
Abstract
We present the harmonic superspace formulation of gravitino multiplet, the simplest half-integer spin gauge supermultiplet. It is shown that, quite similar to other gauge multiplets, the gravitino supermultiplet is described by unconstrained analytic prepotentials and which contain a conformal gravitino in the Wess-Zumino gauge. The analytic prepotentials naturally come out from the study of supercurrents associated with hidden symmetries of vector-hypermultiplet system. We construct the covariant superfield strengths and the invariant superfield actions and sketch their component contents. We observe that, at cost of introducing new auxiliary coordinates and , the gravitino analytic prepotentials acquire a nice geometric interpretation as extra veilbeins of the covariant harmonic derivative . We speculate on a possible origin of the additional coordinates, including their relationship with supertwistors.
