摘要
We study N = 2 heterotic strings. It is found that the consistent backgrounds for string propagation correspond to self-dual Yang-Mills configurations in four dimensions (reduced to two dimensions), or a deformation of self-dual Yang-Mills coupled to gravity (reduced to three dimensions). Motivated from string theory we formulate a notion of integrability for four-dimensional field theories with (2,2) signature.
