Self-Dual Super-Yang-Mills as a String Theory in $(x,\theta )$ Space

Abstract

Different string theories in twistor space have recently been proposed for describing $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills. In this paper, my Strings 2003 talk is reviewed in which a string theory in $(x,\theta )$ space was constructed for self-dual $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills. It is hoped that these results will be useful for understanding the twistor-string proposals and their possible relation with the pure spinor formalism of the $d=10$ superstring.
