N=2 Supergravity and Special Geometry

Abstract

The essential elements in the construction of the couplings of vector multiplets to supergravity using the conformal approach are repeated. This approach leads automatically to the basic quantities on which the symplectic transformations, the basic tools for duality transformations, are defined. A recent theorem about the existence of a basis allowing for a prepotential is discussed.Comment: 9 pages, latex, no figures.
