Abstract

We construct a real-analytic CR supermanifold R, holomorphically embedded into a superquadric Q ⊂ P3|3 × P∗3|3. A CR distribution F on R enables us to define a tangential CR complex (ΩF, ∂). We define a ∂-closed trace functional ∫: ΩF → ℂ and conjecture that a Chern-Simons theory associated with a triple (ΩF ⊗ Matn, ∂, ∫ tr) is equivalent to N = 3, D = 4 Yang–Mills theory with a gauge group U(n). We give some evidences to this conjecture.
