Twistorial versus space--time formulations: unification of various string models

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

We introduce the D=4 twistorial tensionfull bosonic string by considering the canonical twistorial 2--form in two--twistor space. We demonstrate its equivalence to two bosonic string models: due to Siegel (with covariant worldsheet vectorial string momenta Pμm(τ,σ)P_μ^{m}(τ,σ)) and the one with tensorial string momenta P[μν](τ,σ)P_{[μν]}(τ,σ). We show how to obtain in mixed space-time--twistor formulation the Soroka--Sorokin--Tkach--Volkov (SSTV) string model and subsequently by harmonic gauge fixing the Bandos--Zheltukhin (BZ) model, with constrained spinorial coordinates.
