Off-shell six-dimensional supergravity in harmonic superspace
Abstract
A fully off-shell action for N = 2, d = 6 Poincare supergravity in harmonic superspace is proposed. It consists of the off-shell actions for a scalar multiplet and for a self-dual tensor multiplet in conformal supergravity background. A new mechanism for describing self-dual tensor fields off shell, in which conformal supergravity plays an active role, is found.
