Covariant BRS quantization of the ten-dimensional N = 1 Brink-Schwarz superparticle

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

We perform the covariant Becchi-Rouet-Stora quantization of the N = 1 Brink-Schwarz superparticle in ten dimensions. The key ideas used are (1) the Batalin-Fradkin formalism for second-class constraints, (2) nonsquare vielbeins relating spinor indices to internal SO(8) indices, and (3) the special properties of GAMMA matrices in ten dimensions. Our work generalizes Eisenberg and Solomon's solution of the N = 2 case to N = 1.
