Supersymmetric Self-Dual Yang-Mills and Supergravity as Background of Green-Schwarz Superstring
Abstract
We present the Green-Schwarz model coupled to the {\it {supersymmetric}} Yang-Mills and supergravity in a four-dimensional space-time with the indefinite signature . We first confirm the invariance of the Green-Schwarz action, and show that all the 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.
