Abstract

We propose a new gauge prepotential Υi\Upsilon_i describing the four-dimensional N=2{\mathcal N}=2 superconformal gravitino multiplet. The former naturally arises via a superspace reduction of the N=3{\mathcal N}=3 conformal supergravity multiplet. A locally superconformal chiral action for Υi\Upsilon_i, which is gauge-invariant in arbitrary conformally-flat backgrounds, is derived. This construction readily yields a new superprojector, which maps an isospinor superfield Ψi\Psi_i to a multiplet characterised by the properties of a conformal supercurrent associated with Υi\Upsilon_i. Our main results are also specialised to N=2{\mathcal N}=2 anti-de Sitter superspace.
