We extend the Shirafuji model for massless particles with primary spacetime coordinates and composite four-momenta to a model for massive particles with spin and electric charge. The primary variables in the model are the spacetime four-vector, four scalars describing spin and charge degrees of freedom as well as a pair of Weyl spinors. The geometric description proposed in this paper provides an intermediate step between the free purely twistorial model in two-twistor space in which both spacetime and four-momenta vectors are composite, and the standard particle model, where both spacetime and four-momenta vectors are elementary. We quantize the model and find explicitly the first-quantized wavefunctions describing relativistic particles with mass, spin and electric charge. The spacetime coordinates in the model are not commutative; this leads to a wavefunction that depends only on one covariant projection of the spacetime four-vector (covariantized time coordinate) defining plane wave solutions.

  1. Inhomogeneous transformations in a gauged twistor formulation of a massive particle

    hep-th 2024-11 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    By extending local U(2) to IU(2) and letting h and \bar h transform as gauge fields, the paper claims that the mass-shell constraints of the Deguchi-Okano twistor action are required by symmetry rather than inserted by hand.

  2. Twistor approach to classical and quantum D0-brane

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A constrained supertwistor approach to the D0-brane is developed, related to the spinor moving frame method, and quantized to yield the spectrum of the massive counterpart of linearized type IIA supergravity.
