N = 2 Supergravity in D = 4, 5, 6 Dimensions [E-Book] / by Edoardo Lauria, Antoine Van Proeyen.
This graduate-level primer presents a tutorial introduction to and overview of N = 2 supergravity theories - with 8 real supercharges and in 4, 5 and 6 dimensions. First, the construction of such theories by superconformal methods is explained in detail, and relevant special geometries are obtained...
