Abstract

In this talk, I will present the construction of new dilaton Weyl multiplets for maximal conformal supergravity in four, five, and six dimensions. I will stress the idea of uplifting the on-shell status of compensating multiplets to off-shell by constructing dilaton Weyl multiplets. I will explore how far this program can be pushed. I will talk about the possibility of off-shell half-maximal supergravity, where this work represents an initial step toward addressing these questions. I will end the talk with conclusions and some future directions.
