Twistorial and space-time descriptions of massless infinite spin (super)particles and fields
Abstract
We develop a new twistorial field formulation of a massless infinite spin particle. Unlike our previous approach arXiv:1805.09706, the quantization of such a world-line infinite spin particle model is carried without any gauge fixing. As a result, we construct a twistorial infinite spin field and derive its helicity decomposition. Using the field twistor transform, we construct the space-time infinite (continuous) spin field, which depends on the coordinate four-vector and additional commuting Weyl spinor. The equations of motion for infinite spin fields in the cases of integer and half-integer helicities are derived. We show that the infinite integer-spin field and infinite half-integer-spin field form the infinite spin supermultiplet. The corresponding supersymmetry transformations are formulated and their on-shell algebra is derived. As a result, we find the field realization of the infinite spin supersymmetry.
