In [ref] , it was shown how to use the $U(1)$ structure to encode Kähler transformations, but the discussion there can easily be generalized to include a $U(1)_ξ$ rather than a Kähler potential.

In the $U(1)_K$ superspace formalism [ref] , the kinetic contribution to the effective supergravity action is determined by the superspace integral [equation] where $E$ is the supervielbein determinant.

Following [ref] and [ref] , one chooses $H$ to obey the constraints [equation] Then as a consequence of the Bianchi identities, one can show that [equation] where $L$ is a linear superfield and where we have defined [equation] It follows that the dual of the three form is [equation]

Using [equation] one finds [equation] This is equivalent to the corresponding formulae in equations (B-2.12) through (B-2.18) of [ref] ; therefore, the torsion of $U(1)$ supergravity is equivalent to the $B=0$ gauge of conformal superspace.

To simplify the discussion, let us first assume that the only low energy degrees of freedom are the gravity multiplet, chiral multiplets $S,$ and the linear multiplet $L.$ The two-derivative action of linear multiplets are determined by two functions $F$ and $K$ [ref] [equation] where $E$ is the super-vielbein, the function $F$ depends on the Kähler potential $K(S,S̅,L)$ via the constraint [equation] which is imposed to obtain the correct normalization of the Einstein-Hilbert action in Einstein-frame.

Recall that this action arose by performing a duality transformation on the action [equation] There exists a quite elegant formulation for dealing with this model, known as Kähler superspace, which was constructed originally in [ref] .[See [ref] for a recent detailed and pedagogical discussion.] As a first step toward understanding how to geometrize the dual action, we will describe how Kähler superspace arises via the compensator method.

In $N=1$ supersymmetric theories the massless 3-form resides in a supermultiplet together with two scalar and two fermionic physical degrees of freedom [ref] and Poincaré duality relates this multiplet to a non-minimal scalar multiplet discussed in [ref] .[ Since 3-forms can also play the role of the Yang-Mills Chern-Simons term, the 3-form multiplet has been used in the description of gauge anomalies in supersymmetric theories [ref] .] A massive 3-form multiplet gains its mass by “eating” a linear multiplet which contains a 2-form as one of its components.
