چکیده
We derive the Green-Schwarz action on AdS 5 × S 5 using an alternate version of the coset superspace construction. By Wick rotations and Lie algebra identifications we bring the coset to GL(4|4)/(Sp(4) ⊗ GL(1)) 2 , which allows us to represent the conformal transformations on unconstrained matrices. The derivation is more streamlined even for the bosonic sector, and conformal symmetry is manifest at every step. κ-symmetry gauge fixing is more transparent.

The Topological B-model on a Mini-Supertwistor Space and Supersymmetric Bogomolny Monopole Equations
In the recent paper hep-th/0502076, it was argued that the open topological Bmodel whose target space is a complex (2|4)-dimensional mini-supertwistor space with D3and D1-branes added corresponds to a super Yang-Mills theory in three dimensions. Without the D1-branes, this topological B-model is equivalent to a dimensionally reduced holomorphic Chern-Simons theory. Identifying the latter with a...
متن کاملRicci-flat supertwistor spaces
We show that supertwistor spaces constructed as a Kähler quotient of a hyperkähler cone (HKC) with equal numbers of bosonic and fermionic coordinates are Ricci-flat, and hence, Calabi-Yau. We study deformations of the supertwistor space induced from deformations of the HKC. We also discuss general infinitesimal deformations that preserve Ricci-flatness.
متن کاملTwistor Actions for Self-dual Supergravities
We give holomorphic Chern-Simons-like action functionals on supertwistor space for self-dual supergravity theories in four dimensions, dealing with N = 0, . . . , 8 supersymmetries, the cases where different parts of the Rsymmetry 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 ...
متن کاملOn Hidden Symmetries of a Super Gauge Theory and Twistor String Theory
We discuss infinite-dimensional hidden symmetry algebras (and hence an infinite number of conserved nonlocal charges) of the N -extented self-dual super Yang-Mills equations for general N ≤ 4 by using the supertwistor correspondence. Furthermore, by enhancing the supertwistor space, we construct the N -extended self-dual super Yang-Mills hierarchies, which describe infinite sets of graded Abeli...
متن کاملOn 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 کاملSuperparticle Models with Tensorial Central Charges
A generalization of the Ferber–Shirafuji formulation of superparticle mechanics is considered. The generalized model describes the dynamics of a superparticle in a superspace extended by tensorial central charge coordinates and commuting twistor–like spinor variables. The D = 4 model contains a continuous real parameter a ≥ 0 and at a = 0 reduces to the SU(2, 2|1) supertwistor Ferber–Shirafuji ...
