Abstract

We survey on-shell and off-shell higher derivative supergravities in dimensions 1≤D≤11. Various approaches to their construction, including the Noether procedure, (harmonic) superspace, superform method, superconformal tensor calculus, S-matrix and dimensional reduction, are summarized. Primarily the bosonic parts of the invariants and the supertransformations of the fermionic fields are provided. The process of going on-shell, solutions to the Killing spinor equations, typical supersymmetric solutions, and the role of duality symmetries in the context of R⁴,D⁴R⁴ and D⁶R⁴ invariants are reviewed.
