On Infinite-Dimensional Algebras of Symmetries of the Self-Dual Yang-Mills Equations

Abstract

Infinite-dimensional algebras of hidden symmetries of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations are considered. A current-type algebra of symmetries and an affine extension of conformal symmetries introduced recently are discussed using the twistor picture. It is shown that the extended conformal symmetries of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations have a simple description in terms of Ward's twistor construction.
