  • Twistors and the massive spinning particle 

    Mezincescu, Luca; Routh, Alasdair J; Townsend, Paul Kingsley (IOP ScienceJournal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2015-12-07)
    Gauge-invariant twistor variables are found for the massive spinning particle with N-extended local worldline supersymmetry, in spacetime dimensions D = 3, 4, 6. The twistor action is manifestly Lorentz invariant but the ...

  • Worldline CPT and massless supermultiplets 

    Arvanitakis, Alexandros-Spyridon; Mezincescu, L; Townsend, Paul Kingsley (World Scientific PublishingInternational Journal of Modern Physics A, 2016-09-30)
    The action for a massless particle in 4D Minkowski space–time has a worldline-time reversing symmetry corresponding to CPT invariance of the quantum theory. The analogous symmetry of the $\mathscr{N}$-extended superparticle ...
