Is there a stringy description of self-dual supergravity in 2 + 2 dimensions?

The well known N=2 string theory describes self-dual gravity, as was shown by Ouguri and Vafa sometime ago. In search of a variant of this theory which would describe self-dual supergravity in 2+2 dimensions, we have constructed tow new N=2 strings theories in which the target space is a superspace. Both theories contain massless scalar and spinor fields in their spectrum, and one of them has spacetime supersymmetry. However, we find that the interactions of these fields do not correspond to those of self-dual supergravity. In our construction, we have used the basic (2,2) superspace variables, and considered quadratic constraints in these variables. A more general construction may be needed for a stringy description of self-dual supergravity. (author)
