<i>N</i> = 2 supergravity in five dimensions revisited

Abstract

We construct matter-coupled N=2 supergravity in five dimensions, using the\nsuperconformal approach. For the matter sector we take an arbitrary number of\nvector-, tensor- and hyper-multiplets. By allowing off-diagonal vector-tensor\ncouplings we find more general results than currently known in the literature.\nOur results provide the appropriate starting point for a systematic search for\nBPS solutions, and for applications of M-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau\nmanifolds with fluxes.\n
