(2,0) tensor multiplets and conformal supergravity in D=6

We construct the supercurrent multiplet that contains the energy-momentum t ensor of the (2, 0) tensor multiplet. By coupling this multiplet of current s to the fields of conformal supergravity, we first construct the linearize d superconformal transformations rules of the (2, 0) Weyl multiplet. Next, we construct the full nonlinear transformation rules by gauging the superco nformal algebra OSp(8*\4). We then use this result to construct the full eq uations of motion of the tensor multiplet in a conformal supergravity backg round. Coupling N+5 copies of the tensor multiplet to conformal supergravit y and imposing a geometrical constraint on the scaler fields which fixes th e conformal symmetry, we obtain the coupling of (2, 0) Poincare supergravit y to N tensor multiplets in which the physical scalars parametrize the cose t SO(N, 5)/(SO(N) x SO(5)).
