abstract
Using the harmonic superspace approach, we construct, at the linearized level, $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric curvatures generalizing scalar curvature, Ricci curvature and Weyl tensor. These supercurvatures are the building blocks of various linearized $4D, \, \mathcal{N}=2$ Einstein supergravity invariants. The supercurvatures involving the scalar and Ricci curvatures are analytic harmonic ${\cal N}=2$ superfields, while the Weyl supertensor is a chiral $\mathcal{N}=2$ superfield. As the basic distinguished feature of our construction, all these objects are expressed through the fundamental analytic gauge prepotentials $h^{++M}, M= (\alpha\dot\alpha, +\alpha, +\dot\alpha, 5)$. The related characteristic features are the heavy use of harmonic derivatives and harmonic zero-curvature equations. On a number of instructive examples, we describe the component reduction of the superfield invariants constructed.

Structure of $\mathcal{N} = 2$ superfield higher-spin abelian cubic interactions
N=2 abelian higher-spin cubic (s1,s2,s2) vertices have analytic structure fully fixed by the supercurrents J++_{\alpha(s-1)\dot{\alpha}(s-1)}, J^+_{\alpha(s-1)\dot{\alpha}(s-2)} and \bar J^+_{\alpha(s-2)\dot{\alpha}(s-1)} for s1 \ge 2 s2.
