Abstract

After adding seven auxiliary scalar fields, the action for ten-dimensional super-Yang-Mills contains an equal number of bosonic and fermionic non-gauge fields. Besides being manifestly Lorentz and gauge-invariant, this action contains nine spacetime supersymmetries whose algebra closes off-shell. Octonions provide a convenient notation for displaying these symmetries.
