Abstract: Presently integrability turned out to be the key property in the study of duality between superconformal gauge theories and strings in anti-de Sitter superspaces. Complexity of the study of integrable structure in string theory is caused by complicated dependence of background fields of the Type II supergravity multiplets, with which strings interact, on the superspace coordinates. This explains an interest to study of limiting cases, in which superstring equations simplify. In the present work, we considered the limiting case of zero tension corresponding to null string. The representation in the form of the Lax equation of null-string equations in (anti-)de Sitter space realized as a coset manifold is obtained. Proposed is twistor interpretation of the Lagrangian of (null) string in anti-de Sitter space expressed in terms of group variables.

Keywords: tensionless string, (anti-)de Sitter space, classical integrability, Lax pair, twistor.
