All N=4 conformal supergravities in four space-time dimensions are constructed. These are the only N=4 supergravity theories whose actions are invariant under off-shell supersymmetry. They are encoded in terms of a holomorphic function that is homogeneous of zeroth degree in scalar fields that parametrize an SU(1,1)/U(1) coset space. When this function equals a constant the Lagrangian is invariant under continuous SU(1,1) transformations. The construction of these higher-derivative invariants also opens the door to various applications for non-conformal theories.

  1. Only Flat Spacetime is Full BPS in Four Dimensional N=3 and N=4 Supergravity

    hep-th 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Flat spacetime is the only fully supersymmetric solution in four-dimensional N=3 and N=4 higher derivative Poincaré supergravity, unlike N=2 where Bertotti-Robinson geometry also qualifies.

  2. Supersymmetry and Attractors in N = 4 Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical confirmation of the attractor mechanism and 1/4 supersymmetry preservation for generic dyonic extremal black holes in pure N=4 supergravity.

  3. On anomaly free 4d $\mathcal{N}$=4 and 6d (2,0) conformal supergravities and UV finiteness of Poincar\'e supergravities

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Anomaly cancellation for specific multiplet numbers in conformal supergravities implies divergences proportional to n_v+2 in 4d PSG and n_T-21 in 6d PSG.
