β¦ Synopsis
We consider N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory formulated in terms of N = 2 superfields in harmonic superspace. Using the background field method we define manifestly gauge invariant and N = 2 supersymmetric effective action depending on N = 2 strength superfields and develop a general procedure for its calculation in one-loop approximation. Explicit form for this effective action is found for the case of SU (2) gauge group broken down to U (1).

It has been recently proposed that string theory in the background of a plane wave corresponds to a certain subsector of the N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. This correspondence follows as a limit of the AdS/CFT duality. As a particular case of the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is a priori a str
