Abstract The general form of N = 2 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets and hypermultiplets with a generic gauging of the scalar manifold isometries is given. This extends the results already available in the literature in that we use a coordinate independent and manifestly symplectic covariant formalism which allows us to cover theories difficult to formulate within a superspace or tensor calculus approach. We provide the complete lagrangian and supersymmetry…

An N=1/2 supergravity in four Euclidean spacetime dimensions, coupled to both vector- and scalar-multiplet matter, is constructed for the first time. We begin with the standard N=(1,1) conformally…
A symplectic covariant formulation of special Kähler geometry in superconformal calculus
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…
What is special Kähler geometry
The scalars in vector multiplets of N = 2 supersymmetric theories in four dimensions exhibit ‘special Kahler geometry’, related to duality symmetries, due to their coupling to the vectors. In the…
