Abstract
Duality-symmetric and self-dual fields (chiral bosons) are an important part of various theoretical models which are considered in the modern superstring theory. For a long period of time there has been a problem of how to construct an action for such fields which would simultaneously possess both duality symmetry and Lorentz-covariance.
