Superconformal Selfdual σ-Models

A range of bosonic models can be expressed as (sometimes generalized) σ-models, with equations of motion coming from a selfduality constraint. We show that in D = 2, this is easily extended to supersymmetric cases, in a superspace approach. In particular, we find that the configurations of fields of a superconformal fraktur G/fraktur H coset models which satisfy some selfduality constraint are automatically solutions to the equations of motion of the model. Finally, we show that symmetric space σ-models can be seen as infinite-dimensional Fraktur G with tilde/Fraktur H with tilde models constrained by a selfduality equation, with Fraktur G with tilde the loop extension of fraktur G and Fraktur H with tilde a maximal subgroup. It ensures that these models have a hidden global Fraktur G with tilde symmetry together with a local Fraktur H with tilde gauge symmetry.
