We derive the gravitational multiplets of new minimal Poincare supergravity and obtain a tensor calculus which allows us to compute general matter couplings in arbitrary R-symmetric supergravity theories. In particular, we derive Chern-Simons multiplets and super topological invariants. The relevance of these results for the description of the effective interactions of the massless excitations of four-dimensional heterotic superstrings with N = 1 space-time supersymmetry is stressed. copyright 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
