Description

The linearised solutions to constraints in two-dimensional (2, 0) supergravity are given. We derive the superconformal ghost action in superspace. The procedure for deriving the non-linear (p, q) geometries of the (p, q + 1) and (p + 1, q) local superspaces is given. We apply this to the rewriting of the (1, 1) NSR superstring in (1, 0) superspace and expressing the (2, 0) supergravity constraints in the lower superspace. Finally, a new form of D = 2, N = 1 supergravity is presented. (author)
