Self--Dual Supergravity and Supersymmetric Yang--Mills Coupled to Green--Schwarz Superstring

We present the {\it canonical} set of superspace constraints for self-dual supergravity, a ``self-dual'' tensor multiplet and a self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet with $~N=1~$ supersymmetry in the space-time with signature $(+,+,-,-)$. For this set of constraints, the consistency of the self-duality conditions on these multiplets with supersymmetry is manifest. The energy-momentum tensors of all the self-dual ``matter'' multiplets vanish, to be consistent with the self-duality of the Riemann tensor. In particular, the special significance of the ``self-dual'' tensor multiplet is noted. This result fills the gap left over in our previous series of papers, with respect to the consistent couplings among the self-dual matter multiplets. We also couple these non-trivial backgrounds to a Green-Schwarz superstring $~\s\-$model, under the requirement of invariance under fermionic (kappa) symmetry. The finiteness of the self-dual supergravity is discussed, based on its ``off-shell'' structure. A set of exact solutions for the ``self-dual'' tensor and self-dual Yang-Mills multiplets for the gauge group $~SL(2)$~ on self-dual gravitational instanton background is given, and its consistency with the Green-Schwarz string ~$\s\-$model is demonstrated.

Supersymmetric Soluble Systems Embedded in Supersymmetric Self--Dual Yang--Mills Theory

We perform dimensional reductions of recently constructed self-dual $~N=2$~ {\it supersymmetric} Yang-Mills theory in $~2+2\-$dimensions into two-dimensions. We show that the universal equations obtained in these dimensional reductions can embed supersymmetric exactly soluble systems, such as $~N=1$~ and $~N=2$~ supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries equations, $~N=1$~ supersymmetric Liouville theory or supersymmetric Toda theory. This is the first supporting evidence for the conjecture that the $~2+2\-$dimensional self-dual {\it supersymmetric} Yang-Mills theory generates {\it supersymmetric} soluble systems in lower-dimensions.

Extended Supersymmetry and Self-Duality in 2+2 Dimensions

The $N=2$ supersymmetric {\it self-dual} Yang-Mills theory and the $N=4$ and $N=2$ {\it self-dual} supergravities in $2+2$ space-time dimensions are formulated for the first time. These formulations utilize solutions of the Bianchi identities subject to the super-Yang-Mills or supergravity constraints in the relevant $N$-extended superspace with the space-time signature $(2,2)$.

Majorana-Weyl Spinors and Self-Duality Gauge Fields in 2+2 Dimensions

The properties of Dirac gamma matrices in a four-dimensional space-time with the $(2,2)$ signature are studied. The basic spinors are classified, and the existence of Majorana-Weyl spinors is noted. Supersymmetry in $2 + 2$ dimensions is discussed, and the existence of the {\it real chiral} scalar supermultiplet is discovered. Supersymmetric {\it self-dual} Yang-Mills theories and {\it self-dual} supergravity model in $2 + 2$ dimensions, that are apparently relevant to integrable systems, are formulated for the first time.

Supersymmetric Self-Dual Yang-Mills and Supergravity as Background of Green-Schwarz Superstring

We present the Green-Schwarz $\s\-$model coupled to the $N=1$ {\it {supersymmetric}} Yang-Mills and supergravity in a four-dimensional space-time with the indefinite signature $(+,+,-,-)$. We first confirm the $\k\-$invariance of the Green-Schwarz action, and show that all the $\b\-$functions for the backgrounds vanish consistently after the use of their superfield equations. Subsequently, we inspect the supersymmetric {\it self-duality} conditions, that have been developed in our previous paper on the Yang-Mills and supergravity backgrounds. Remarkably, the Majorana-Weyl spinor dictating the {\it supersymmetric self-duality} conditions is consistent with the couplings of Green-Schwarz superstring. Such Green-Schwarz superstring is supposed to be the underlying theory of the {\it supersymmetric self-dual} Yang-Mills theory, which is conjectured to generate {\it all} exactly soluble supersymmetric systems in lower dimensions.
