Twistors and Aspects of Integrability of self-dual SYM Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
With the help of the Penrose-Ward transform, which relates certain holomorphic vector bundles over the supertwistor space to the equations of motion of self-dual SYM theory in four dimensions, we construct hidden infinite-dimensional symmetries of the theory. We also present a new and shorter proof (cf. hep-th/0412163) of the relation between certain deformation algebras and hidden symmetry algebras. This article is based on a talk given by the author at the Workshop on Supersymmetries and Quantum Symmetries 2005 at the BLTP in Dubna, Russia. November, 2005 1 E-mail: [email protected]

On Supertwistors, the Penrose-Ward Transform and N=4 super Yang-Mills Theory
It was recently shown by Witten that B-type open topological string theory with the supertwistor space CP 3|4 as a target space is equivalent to holomorphic Chern-Simons (hCS) theory on the same space. This hCS theory in turn is equivalent to self-dual N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in four dimensions. We review the supertwistor description of self-dual and anti-self-dual N -extended SYM the...
متن کاملThe Bethe Ansatz for Z S Orbifolds of N = 4 Super Yang - Mills Theory
Worldsheet techniques can be used to argue for the integrability of string theory on AdS 5 × S 5 /Z S , which is dual to the strongly coupled Z S-orbifold of N = 4 SYM. We analyze the integrability of these field theories in the perturbative regime and construct the relevant Bethe equations.
متن کاملA ug 2 00 7 Aspects of Integrability in N = 4 SYM
Various recently developed connections between supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions and two dimensional integrable systems serve as crucial ingredients in improving our understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this review, we highlight some connections between superconformal four dimensional Yang-Mills theory and various integrable systems. In particular, we focus on the...
متن کاملOn the Integrability of large N Plane-Wave Matrix Theory
We show the three-loop integrability of large N plane-wave matrix theory in a subsector of states comprised of two complex light scalar fields. This is done by diagonalizing the theory’s Hamiltonian in perturbation theory and taking the large N limit. At one-loop level the result is known to be equal to the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain, which is a well-known integrable system. Here, integrability ...
