Abstract
We construct the general minimal coupling of N = 2 Yang-Mills fields to N = 2 sigma models in flat and curved harmonic superspace. We show that the complete symmetry group of the matter action can always be gauged in curved space. In flat space, we find that the gauging can be blocked by a local obstruction. We give a number of examples based on homogeneous quaternionic spaces and on quaternionic generalizations of the Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hanson metrics.
