Superholomorphic structures, moment maps, and super self-dual Yang-Mills connections over super Riemann surfaces

Abstract

We consider the space of superconnections with certain curvature constraints over super Riemann surfaces. We define a moment map over that space to the dual of the super Lie algebra of gauge transformations. The zero set of this moment map corresponds to the super self-dual Yang-Mills equations in two dimensions. This result generalizes the recently proposed scheme for the nonsupersymmetric case. The superfield equations also arise from super self-dual Yang-Mills equations in four dimensions by dimensional reduction.
