Abstract

Massive tensor multiplets have recently been scrutinized in hep-th/0410051 and hep-th/0410149, as they appear in orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory. Here we formulate several dually equivalent models for massive N = 1, N=2 tensor multiplets in four space-time dimensions. In the N = 2 case, we employ harmonic and projective superspace techniques.
