Abstract:We give holomorphic Chern-Simons-like action functionals on supertwistor space for self-dual supergravity theories in four dimensions, dealing with $${\mathcal{N} = 0,\ldots,8}$$ supersymmetries, the cases where different parts of the R-symmetry are gauged, and with or without a cosmological constant. The gauge group is formally the group of holomorphic Poisson transformations of supertwistor space where the form of the Poisson structure determines the amount of R-symmetry gauged and the value of the cosmological constant. We give a formulation in terms of a finite deformation of an integrable $${\bar\partial}$$ -operator on a supertwistor space, i.e., on regions in $${\mathbb{CP}^{3|8}}$$ . For $${\mathcal{N}=0}$$ , we also give a formulation that does not require the choice of a background.
