Supersymmetric action for 6D $(4,0)$ supergravity

Abstract

We give a linearized but otherwise complete supersymmetric action for $\mathcal{N}=(4,0)$ supergravity in six dimensions, using a Kaluza-Klein-type $5+1$ split of coordinates and fields. We provide in particular a significantly simplified version of the bosonic action derived by us recently. This formulation employs fields that are no longer irreducible, subject to a local Lorentz invariance, which in turn simplifies the supersymmetry transformations including the exotic gravitino.
