We review some ideas on the relationship between massless superparticles and the division algebras to provide a new perspective on ambitwsitor string theories. The key concern is the critical theory. We show that this theory has a reducible soft algebra, rather than a conventional Lie algebra. This algebra only closes on-shell. The BV procedure is employed to deal with the on-shell closure of the algebra and the classical Master Action is presented.

  1. On polarized scattering equations for superamplitudes of 11D supergravity and ambitwistor superstring

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The polarized scattering equation for 11D supergravity is derived from the supertwistor form of the ambitwistor superstring with SO(16) covariance, and a fermionic superpartner equation on superamplitudes is found.

  2. Supertwistor description of ambitwistor strings

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A supertwistor-based 10D ambitwistor string is built and shown, in light-cone gauge, to reproduce the tree amplitudes of the RNS ambitwistor string.
