Abstract
In the context of two-time physics in dimensions we construct the most general , 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills gauge theories for any gauge group G. This builds on our previous work for supersymmetry (SUSY). The action, the conserved SUSY currents, and the SU(N) covariant SUSY transformation laws are presented for both and . When the equations of motion are used the SUSY transformations close to the supergroup with , 2, 4. The subsymmetry is realized linearly on dimensional flat spacetime. All fields, including vectors and spinors, are in dimensions. The extra gauge symmetries in 2T field theory, together with the kinematic constraints that follow from the action, remove all the ghosts to give a unitary theory. By choosing gauges and solving the kinematic equations, the 2T field theory in flat spacetime can be reduced to various shadows in various dimensional (generally curved) spacetimes. These shadows are related to each other by dualities. The conformal shadows of our theories in flat dimensions coincide with the well known counterpart , 2, 4 supersymmetric massless renormalizable field theories in dimensions. It is expected that our more symmetric new structures in spacetime may be useful for nonperturbative or exact solutions of these theories.
