Description
Summary:N=3 Weyl multiplet in four dimensions was first constructed in J. van Muiden et al. (2017) where the authors used the current multiplet approach to obtain the linearized transformation rules and completed the non-linear variations using the superconformal algebra. The multiplet of currents was obtained by a truncation of the multiplet of currents for the N=4 vector multiplet. While the procedure seems to be correct, the result suffers from several inconsistencies. The inconsistencies are observed in the transformation rules as well as the field dependent structure constants in the corresponding soft algebra. We take a different approach, and compute the transformation rule as well as the corresponding soft algebra by demanding consistency. Keywords: Supersymmetry, Supergravity
