Abstract
We present a self-dual non-Abelian N=1 supersymmetric tensor multiplet in D=2+2 space-time dimensions. Our system has three on-shell multiplets: (i) The usual non-Abelian Yang-Mills multiplet (AμI,λI), (ii) a non-Abelian tensor multiplet (BμνI,χI,φI), and (iii) an extra compensator vector multiplet (CμI,ρI). Here the index I is for the adjoint representation of a non-Abelian gauge group. The duality symmetry relations are GμνρI=−ϵμνρσ∇σφI, FμνI=+(1/2)ϵμνρσFρσI, and HμνI=+(1/2)ϵμνρσHρσI, where G and H are respectively the field strengths of B and C. The usual problem with the coupling of the non-Abelian tensor is avoided by non-trivial Chern-Simons terms in the field strengths GμνρI and HμνI. For an independent confirmation, we re-formulate the component results in superspace. As applications of embedding integrable systems, we show how the N=2, r=3 and N=3, r=4 flows of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations are embedded into our system.
