Abstract

We discuss N=2N=1N=2\to N=1 reduction in four dimensional conformal supergravity. In particular, we keep the off-shell structure of supermultiplets (except hypermultiplets). As we will show, starting with (almost) off-shell conformal supergravity makes the procedure simpler than that from N=2N=2 Poincar\'e supergravity, which makes it easier to show the correspondence to the standard N=1N=1 conformal supergravity. We find that the N=1N=1 superconformal symmetry is simply realized by truncating the gravitino multiplet. We also discuss the consistency with the original N=2N=2 system and show the reduced N=1N=1 conformal supergravity action.
