Unification of twistors and Ramond vectors: transmutation of superconformal boosts into local supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
The relation between the scale and conformal symmetries in the presence of supersymmetry is studied and new supersymmetric twistors dual to the supertwistors are constructed. The dual twistor, called the θ-twistor, includes the composite Ramond vector [11] well known from the spinning string/particle dynamics. It is shown that the spin structure introduced by θ-twistor breaks superconformal symmetry but still preserves global supersymmetry and scale symmetry generalizing the Gross-Wess mechanism for bosonic scattering amplitudes. We establish that the half of the broken D = 4, N = 1 (super)conformal boosts is restored in the form of local supersymmetry.

A new type of supersymmetric twistors and higher spin chiral multiplets
A new type of supersymmetric twistors is proposed and they are called θ-twistors versus the supertwistors. The θ-twistor is a triple of spinors including the spinor superspace coordinate θ instead of the Grassmannian scalar in the supertwistor triple. The superspace of the θ-twistors is closed under the superconformal group transformations except the (super)conformal boosts. Using the θ-twistor...
متن کاملConstruction Formulae for Singular Vectors of the Topological and of the Ramond N=2 Superconformal Algebras
We write down one-to-one mappings between the singular vectors of the Neveu-Schwarz N=2 superconformal algebra and 16 + 16 types of singular vectors of the Topological and of the Ramond N=2 superconformal algebras. As a result one obtains construction formulae for the latter using the construction formulae for the Neveu-Schwarz singular vectors due to Dörrzapf. The indecomposable singular vecto...
متن کاملThe Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond Algebras of Logarithmic Superconformal Field Theory
We describe the general features of the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of logarithmic conformal field theories with N = 1 supersymmetry. Three particular systems are examined in some detail – D-brane recoil, a superconformal extension of the c = −2 model, and the supersymmetric SU(2)2 WZW model.
متن کامل2-spinors, Twistors and Supersymmetry in the Spacetime Algebra
We present a new treament of 2-spinors and twistors, using the spacetime algebra. The key rôle of bilinear covariants is emphasized. As a by-product, an explicit representation is found, composed entirely of real spacetime vectors, for the Grassmann entities of supersymmetric field theory.
متن کاملThe Ten-dimensional Green-schwarz Superstring Is a Twisted Neveu-schwarz-ramond String
An action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring with N=2 worldsheet superconformal invariance has recently been used to calculate superstring scattering amplitudes and prove their finiteness. In this paper, it is shown that the N=2 stress-energy tensor for this Green-Schwarz action can be constructed out of the stress-energy tensor and ghosts of the Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond action by th...
