Off-Shell ${\mathcal N}=(1,0)$ Linear Multiplets in Six Dimensions

Abstract

We provide a tensor calculus for $n$-number of ${\mathcal N}=(1,0)$ linear multiplets in six dimensions. The coupling of linear multiplets is encoded in a function ${\mathcal F}_{IJ}$ that is subject to certain constraints. We provide various rigid and local supersymmetric models depending on the choice of the function ${\mathcal F}_{IJ}$ and provide an interesting off-diagonal superinvariant, which leads to an $R^2$ supergravity upon elimination of auxiliary fields.
