Abstract

We describe progress in using the field theory of tensionless strings to arrive at a Lagrangian for the six-dimensional N=(2,0)\mathcal N=(2,0) conformal theory. We construct the free part of the theory and propose an ansatz for the cubic vertex in light-cone superspace. By requiring closure of the (2,0)(2,0) supersymmetry algebra, we fix the cubic vertex up to two parameters.
