Abstract
A bstract We give a linearized but otherwise complete supersymmetric action for $$ \mathcal{N} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> = (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 transfor mations including the exotic gravitino.
