The Galilean superstring
(SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-02-21)
The action for a Galilean superstring is found from a non-relativistic limit of the closed Green-Schwarz (GS) superstring; it has zero tension and provides an example of a massless super-Galilean system. A Wess-Zumino term ...
Pauli-Lubanski, supertwistors, and the superspinning particle
(Springer NatureJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-06-28)
We present a novel construction of the super-Pauli-Lubanski pseudo-vector for 4D supersymmetry and show how it arises naturally from the spin-shell constraints in the supertwistor formulation of superparticle dynamics. We ...
Anti-de Sitter Particles and Manifest (Super)Isometries.
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2017-04-07)
Starting from the classical action for a spin-zero particle in a D-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, we recover the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound by quantization. For D=4, 5, 7 and using an Sl(2;K) spinor notation ...
Tachyons in the Galilean limit
(SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-04-20)
The Souriau massless Galilean particle of “colour” k and spin s is shown to be the Galilean limit of the Souriau tachyon of mass m = ik and spin s. We compare and contrast this result with the Galilean limit of the Nambu-Goto ...
