چکیده
We determine the general coupling of a system of scalars and antisymmetric tensors, with at most two derivatives and undeformed gauge transformations, for both rigid and local N = 2 supersymmetry in four-dimensional spacetime. Our results cover interactions of hyper, tensor and double-tensor multiplets and apply among others to Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications of Type II supergravities. As an example, we give the complete Lagrangian and supersymmetry transformation rules of the double-tensor multiplet dual to the universal hypermultiplet.

Supersymmetry with Gauged Central Charge
We develop a general setting for N = 2 rigid supersymmetric field theories with gauged central charge in harmonic superspace. We consider those N = 2 multiplets which have a finite number of off-shell components and exist off shell owing to a non-trivial central charge. This class includes, in particular, the hypermultiplet with central charge and various versions of the vector-tensor multiplet...
متن کاملDynamical analysis for a scalar–tensor model with Gauss–Bonnet and non-minimal couplings
We study the autonomous system for a scalar-tensor model of dark energy with Gauss-Bonnet and non-minimal couplings. The critical points describe important stable asymptotic scenarios including quintessence, phantom and de Sitter attractor solutions. Two functional forms for the coupling functions and the scalar potential are considered: power-law and exponential functions of the scalar field. ...
متن کاملDuality and Black Hole Partition Functions
Supersymmetric black holes provide an excellent theoretical laboratory to test ideas about quantum gravity in general and black hole entropy in particular. When four-dimensional supergravity is interpreted as the low-energy approximation of ten-dimensional string theory or eleven-dimensional M-theory, one has a microscopic description of the black hole which allows one to count microstates and ...
متن کاملThe N=2 Vector-tensor Multiplet, Central Charge Superspace, and Chern-simons Couplings
We present a new, alternative interpretation of the vector-tensor multiplet as a 2-form in central charge superspace. This approach provides a geometric description of the (non-trivial) central charge transformations ab initio and is naturally generalized to include couplings of Chern-Simons forms to the antisymmetric tensor gauge field, giving rise to a N = 2 supersymmetric version of the Gree...

We see that S has arbitrary couplings to the curvature and kinetic terms and we call it the scalar-tensor σ-model or, the scalar-tensor wavemap action. Such a theory includes as special cases many of the scalar field models considered in the literature (e.g.,). Under compact variat...
