TL;DR: In this paper, a duality procedure that relates conventional four-dimensional matter-coupled supergravities to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field strengths of gauge three-forms is presented.
Abstract: We present a duality procedure that relates conventional four-dimensional matter-coupled $$\mathcal{N}=1$$
supergravities to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field strengths of gauge three-forms. The duality promotes specific coupling constants appearing in the superpotential to vacuum expectation values of the field strengths. We then apply this general duality to type IIA string compactifications on Calabi–Yau orientifolds with RR fluxes. This gives a new supersymmetric formulation of the corresponding effective four-dimensional theories which includes gauge three-forms.

TL;DR: In this article, a duality procedure that relates conventional four-dimensional matter-coupled N = 1 supergravities to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-strengths of gauge three-forms is presented.
Abstract: We present a duality procedure that relates conventional four-dimensional matter-coupled N=1 supergravities to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-strengths of gauge three-forms. The duality promotes specific coupling constants appearing in the superpotential to vacuum expectation values of the field-strengths. We then apply this general duality to type IIA string compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds with RR fluxes. This gives a new supersymmetric formulation of the corresponding effective four-dimensional theories which includes gauge three-forms.

TL;DR: In this article, a duality procedure that relates standard matter-coupled N = 1 supergravity to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-strengths of gauge three-forms is presented.
Abstract: We review a duality procedure that relates standard matter-coupled N=1 supergravity to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field-strengths of gauge three-forms. As examples, we consider the dualization of the rigid Polonyi model and of effective field theories associated with Type IIA string compactifications with fluxes in supergravity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a tensorial, matrix or hyperspace approach to the description of massless higher-spin fields is presented. But this approach is limited to the case of higher spin fields.
Abstract: We will give an introduction to the so-called tensorial, matrix or hyperspace approach to the description of massless higher-spin fields.
