Abstract: (Elsevier)
We present the invariant action for conformal supergravity in ten dimensions. We compare our result to d =6, N =2 conformal supergravity, and show that in d =6 a superconformal invariant based on the Gauss-Bonnet combination must exist. The contributions of the antisymmetric tensor gauge field in d =10 cannot be completely expressed in terms of torsion.
