We give a superspace description of D=3, N=8 supergravity. The formulation is off-shell in the sense that the equations of motion are not implied by the superspace constraints (but an action principle is not given). The multiplet structure is unconventional, which we connect to the existence of a "Dragon window", that is modules occurring in the supercurvature but not in the supertorsion. According to Dragon's theorem this cannot happen above three dimensions. We clarify the relevance of this window for going on the conformal shell, and discuss some aspects of coupling to conformal matter.

  1. On three-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetry: maximally supersymmetric backgrounds and massive deformations

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper classifies maximally supersymmetric 3D N=4 backgrounds and constructs massive deformations of N=4 theories on deformed Minkowski superspace, including a one-loop derivation of Chern-Simons terms.
