Supertwistors and superfields

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The contour integral formulae of the twistor theory are generalized to the supertwistor case. They yield representations of the superconformal algebrasu(2, 2¦N) in terms of superfields with arbitrary conformal weights which are defined either on chiral or on non-chiral superspaces.
