Abstract

We review the recent construction of the off-shell \(\mathcal{N} = (1,0)\) supersymmetrization of the Gauss–Bonnet curvature squared combination in six dimensions.

Notes

  1. Conformal superspace was first introduced by D. Butter for 4D \(\mathcal{N} = 1\) [34] and \(\mathcal{N} = 2\) [35] supergravity (see also the seminal work by Kugo and Uehara [36]) and it was developed and extended to 3D \(\mathcal{N} - \)extended supergravity [37], 5D \(\mathcal{N} = 1\) supergravity [26], and recently to 6D \(\mathcal{N} = (1,0)\) supergravity [33], see also [38].
