Gauge symmetries of strings in supertwistor space
Abstract
Recently we have considered supertwistor reformulation of the D=4 N=1,2 superstring action that comprises Newman-Penrose dyad components and is classically equivalent to the Green-Schwarz one. It was shown that in the covariant kappa-symmetry gauge the supertwistor representation of the string action simplifies. Here we analyze its Hamiltonian formulation, classify the constraints on the phase-space variables, and find the covariant set of generators of the gauge symmetries. Quantum symmetries of the supertwistor representation of the string action are examined applying the world-sheet CFT technique. Considered are various generalizations of the model from the perspective of their possible relation to known twistor superstring models.
