Abstract: (Elsevier)
This paper deals with the explicit construction of the group-manifold action of supersymmetric N = 2 Yang-Mills theory in four space-time dimensions. The auxilliary fields of this model are derived from the second-order constraints in much the same way as they were obtained for the N = 1 theory in a previous paper. The rheonomic conditions for N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and for its parent, the N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory in ten space-time dimensions, are also discussed and it is shown that the difficulty met in establishing a set of auxiliary fields for these models is due to an algebraic dependence of what in the N = 1 and N = 2 cases were independent constraints.
