Abstract
The geometry of (2, 1) supersymmetric sigma models with isometry symme tries is discussed. The gauging of such symmetries in superspace is th en studied. We find that the coupling to the (2, 1) Yang-Mills supermu ltiplet can be achieved provided certain geometric conditions are sati sfied. We construct the general gauged action, using an auxiliary vect or to generate the full non-polynomial structure. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sc ience B.V.
