Komar charge of N = 2 supergravity and its superspace generalization

Abstract

We find the defining equations for a Killing vector and its superpartner (called the generalized Killing spinor) and use them to construct the generalized Komar superform of minimal N=2, d=4 supergravity using the superspace formulation. The superspace procedure presented here can be used for the construction of generalized Komar forms in more general supergravity theories. We also present the (more cumbersome) calculation of the generalized Komar 2-form and of the on-shell closed 2-form used to prove the first law in the component formalism, as an independent confirmation of our main result.
