We consider a covariant quantization of the D=11 massless superparticle in the supertwistor framework. D=11 supertwistors are highly constrained, but the interpretation of their bosonic components as Lorentz harmonic variables and their momenta permits to develop a classical and quantum mechanics without much difficulties. A simple, heuristic `twistor' quantization of the superparticle leads to the linearized D=11 supergravity multiplet. In the process, we observe hints of a hidden SO(16) symmetry of D=11 supergravity.

  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. 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.
