Supertwistors and massive particles
Luca Mezincescu, Alasdair J. Routh, Paul K. Townsend
In the (super)twistor formulation of massless (super)particle mechanics, the mass-shell constraint is replaced by a "spin-shell" constraint from which the spin content can be read…
Zwei-Dreibein Gravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Sjoerd de Haan, Olaf Hohm +2
We present a generally-covariant and parity-invariant "zwei-dreibein" action for gravity in three space-time dimensions that propagates two massive spin-2 modes, unitarily, and we…
Equivalence of 3D Spinning String and Superstring
Luca Mezincescu, Alasdair J. Routh, Paul K. Townsend
We perform a light-cone gauge quantization of the Ramond closed spinning string in three spacetime dimensions (3D). The spectrum is Lorentz invariant and identical to that of the 3…
Thermodynamics of "exotic" BTZ black holes
Paul K. Townsend, Baocheng Zhang
A number of three-dimensional (3D) gravity models, such as 3D conformal gravity, admit "exotic" black hole solutions: the metric is the same as the BTZ metric of 3D Einstein gravit…
