✦ Synopsis
The superspace geometry of Chern Simons forms is shown to be closely related to that of the 3-form multiplet. This observation allows us to simplify considerably the geometric structure of supersymmetric Chern Simons forms and their coupling to linear multiplets. The analysis is carried through in U K (1) superspace, relevant at the same time for supergravitymatter couplings and for chirally extended supergravity. As a dynamical application we discuss the supersymmetric action containing Chern Simons forms of the Gauss Bonnet type coupled to the linear multiplet.
