Abstract

We consider Chern-Simons actions of Abelian tensor hierarchy of p-form gauge fields in four-dimensional N = 1 supergravity. Using conformal superspace formalism, we solve the constraints on the field strengths of the p-form gauge superfields in the presence of the tensor hierarchy. The solutions are expressed by the prepotentials of the p-form gauge superfields. We show the internal and superconformal transformation laws of the prepotentials. The descent formalism for the Chern-Simons actions is exhibited.
