Twistors and the massive spinning particle
Luca Mezincescu, Alasdair J. Routh, Paul K. Townsend
Gauge-invariant twistor variables are found for the massive spinning particle with N-extended local worldline supersymmetry, in spacetime dimensions D=3,4,6. The twistor action is…
Twistor form of massive 6D superparticle
Alasdair J. Routh, Paul K. Townsend
The massive six-dimensional (6D) superparticle with manifest (n,0) supersymmetry is shown to have a supertwistor formulation in which its "hidden" (0,n) supersymmetry is also manif…
The Third Way to 3D Gravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Wout Merbis, Alasdair J. Routh +1
Consistency of Einstein's gravitational field equation imposes a "conservation condition" on the -tensor that is satisfied by (i) matter stress tensors,…
Yang-Mills as massive Chern-Simons theory: a third way to three-dimensional gauge theories
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Alexander Sevrin, Paul K. Townsend
The Yang-Mills (YM) equation in three spacetime dimensions (3D) can be modified to include a novel parity-preserving interaction term, with inverse mass parameter, in addition to a…
