Summary
The superspace action and resulting superspace equations of motion are obtained from the off-shell centrally-chargedN=4 super Yang-Mills theory in superspace. These equations agree with the usualSU 4-covariant ones in a suitably chosen gauge.
Riassunto
Si ottengono l’azione del superspazio e le equazioni di moto del superspazio risultanti dalla teoria di super Yang-MillsN=4 fuori dallo strato a carica centrale. Queste equazioni sono in accordo con quelle consuete covariantiSU 4 in una gauge scelta in modo appropriato.
