Abstract

The harmonic N=3 superspace with the even part M4×[SU(3)/U(1)×U(1)] is used to build up an unconstrained off-shell superfield formulation of N=3 super Yang-Mills theory. It is defined in an analytic subspace of this N=3 superspace and is described by three analytic gauge connections entering into the harmonic derivatives. Jumping over the “N=3 barrier” becomes possible due to the presence of an infinite set of auxiliary fields.
