Abstract

In this paper, we show that the mass-shell constraints in the gauged twistor formulation of a massive particle given in [Deguchi and Okano, Phys. Rev. D 93, 045016 (2016) [Erratum 93, 089906(E) (2016)]] are incorporated in an action automatically by extending the local U(2)U(2) transformation to its inhomogeneous extension denoted by IU(2)IU(2). Therefore, it turns out that all the necessary constraints are incorporated into an action by virtue of the local IU(2)IU(2) symmetry of the system.
