Abstract
Self-dual Yang–Mills fields are realized as a superposition, but in a nonlinear context, of plane wave fields. The mathematical analysis of such superposition (and the inverse problem of decomposition) is given in terms of connections on the prime spin bundle over Minkowski space–time. This view leads naturally to the twistor construction for such fields given by Ward as well as a CR version of this construction.
