- Description
- Ten dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory may be described, in the light-cone gauge, in terms of either a vector or spinor superfield satisfying certain projection conditions (type I or II). These have been presented in a SO(9,1) form, and used to construct spinning superparticle theories in extended spaces. This letter presents the covariant quantisation of a "spinor-twin" type II superparticle theory by using the standard techniques of Batalin and Vilkovisky. The quantum action defines a quadratic field theory, whose ghost-independent BRST cohomology class gives the spectrum of N = 1 super Yang-Mills.
