A cubic action for self-dual Yang-Mills
  We make a change of field variables in the J formulation of self-dual Yang--Mills theory. The field equations for the resulting algebra valued field are derivable from a simple cubic action. The cubic interaction vertex is different from that considered previously from the N=2 string, however, perturbation theory with this action shows that the only non-vanishing connected scattering amplitude is for three external particles just as for the string.
