${\cal N}=2$ Supergravity in $D=4,5,6$ Dimensions

Understand

An overview of matter-coupled ${\cal N}=2$ supergravity theories with 8 real supercharges, in 4,5 and 6 dimensions is given.

• The construction of the theories by superconformal methods is explained from basic principles.
• Special geometry is obtained and characterized.
• The relation between the theories in those dimensions is discussed.
