Abstract: (Elsevier)
The presence of classical κ -supersymmetry invariance is shown to be consistent with an off-shell D = 4, N = 1 conformal supergravity background in the presence of a tensor multiplet. We derive a suitable set of constraints, via super Weyl rescaling, for a heterotic superstring in such a background. Starting from the geometry of 16-16 supergravity and gauging the R -symmetry with a composite connection, we derive a geometrical structure similar to that of new minimal supergravity.
