Tensor supermultiplets and toric quaternion-Kahler geometry

Abstract

We review the relation between 4n-dimensional quaternion-Kahler metrics with n+1 abelian isometries and superconformal theories of n+1 tensor supermultiplets. As an application we construct the class of eight-dimensional quaternion-Kahler metrics with three abelian isometries in terms of a single function obeying a set of linear second-order partial differential equations.
