abstract

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 anticommuting spin variables appear exactly as in the non-relativistic limit. This allows a simple confirmation that the quantum N=2 spinning particle has either spin one or spin zero, and that N>2 is quantum inconsistent for D=4,6.

Worldline Higher Spin Gravity

hep-th · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A worldline path integral model for higher-spin gravity in AdS4 is constructed using twistor actions and double-line vertices, reproducing boundary correlators of free boson and fermion vector models.

Universality in Relativistic Spinning Particle Models

hep-th · 2026-03-28 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Four relativistic spinning particle models (vector oscillator, spinor oscillator, spherical top, massive twistor) describe identical physics in free and interacting theories within the spin-magnitude-preserving sector.
