Torus reduction of maximal conformal supergravity

Abstract We consider the dimensional reduction of N = (2, 0) conformal supergravity in six dimensions on a two-torus to N = 4 conformal supergravity in four dimensions. At the level of kinematics, the six-dimensional Weyl multiplet is shown to reduce to a mixture of the N = 4 Weyl and vector multipl...

description Abstract We consider the dimensional reduction of N = (2, 0) conformal supergravity in six dimensions on a two-torus to N = 4 conformal supergravity in four dimensions. At the level of kinematics, the six-dimensional Weyl multiplet is shown to reduce to a mixture of the N = 4 Weyl and vector multiplets, which can be reinterpreted as a new off-shell multiplet of N = 4 conformal supergravity. Similar multiplets have been constructed in other settings and are referred to as dilaton Weyl multiplets. We derive it here for the first time in a maximally supersymmetric context in four dimensions. Furthermore, we present the non-linear relations between all the six- and four-dimensional bosonic and fermionic fields, that are obtained by comparing the off-shell supersymmetry transformation rules.
