Abstract

We show that in the supersymmetry framework described by a Poincar\'{e} superalgebra with tensorial central charges the role of generalized superconformal symmetry which contains all these central charges is played by OSp(12k)OSp(1|2^{k}), where k=3 for D=4. Following [1,2] we describe the free supertwistor model for OSp(18)OSp(1|8). It appears that in such a scheme the tensorial central charges satisfy additional relations and the model describes the tower of supersymmetric massless states with an arbitrary (integer and half--integer) helicity spectrum.
