Non-abelian tensor multiplet equations from twistor space (Q2016041)

From the conclusions: ``We started from twistor space \(P^6\) that underlies the description of self-dual 3-forms in six dimensions in terms of holomorphic abelian gerbes. We extended this twistorial description by considering holomorphic principal 2-bundles over \(P^6\) subject to certain triviality conditions. This led to a bijection between equivalence classes of such 2-bundles and gauge equivalence classes of solutions to higher gauge theory for a self-dual 3-form curvature. We then considered a supersymmetric extension \(P^{6|2n}\) of the twistor space \(P^6\). Here we derived a set of \({\mathcal N}=(n,0)\) supersymmetric non-abelian constraint equations on superspace that contain the tensor multiplet. By virtue of the Penrose-Ward transform, all solutions of these constraint equations were shown to be given by holomorphic principal 2-bundles over \(P^{6|2n}\). In that sense [the constraint equations] constitute a (classically) integrable theory of interacting 2-forms including scalars and fermions. From our twistor description of a higher gauge theory containing the tensor multiplet, we could directly derive a corresponding picture for non-abelian supersymmetric self-dual strings.''
