Superspace formulation of exotic supergravities in six dimensions

Abstract

We provide a linearised superfield description of the exotic non-metric $N=(4,0)$ supergravity in $D=6$, by using a pure spinor superfield formalism. The basic field $\Psi$ is a ghost number 2 scalar, transforming in the same R-symmetry module as the tensor fields. Partial results for the $N=(3,1)$ model are presented.
