Abstract

We construct off-shell superconformal actions of hypermultiplets coupled with non-Abelian gauge multiplets in three-dimensional \( \mathcal{N} \) = 3 and \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 projective super-spaces. We establish the explicit embeddings of the \( \mathcal{N} \) = 2 vector and adjoint chiral superfields, that constitute the \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 gauge multiplets, into the tropical multiplets. We also construct the action in the four-dimensional \( \mathcal{N} \) = 2 projective superspace.
