Manifestly invariant actions for harmonic self-dual gauge theory

Abstract

We discuss alternative descriptions of four-dimensional self-dual Yang-Mills fields in harmonic space with additional commuting spinor coordinates. In particular, the linear analyticity equation and nonlinear covariant harmonic-field equations are studied. A covariant harmonic field can be treated as an infinite set of ordinary four-dimensional fields with higher spins. We analyze different constructions of invariant harmonic-field actions corresponding to the self-dual harmonic equations.
