Abstract

We perform the Lorentz-covariant BFV-BRST quantization of the Brink-Schwarz (BS) superparticle by reducing it to a system whose constraints are all covariant, first class and independent (CFI). This procedure requires the presence of certain auxiliary pure gauge variables which are then recognized as (super-)twistors. In a particular covariant gauge, the system reduces to a purely (super-)twistor one. We present several extensions of this 4-dimensional construction to higher dimensions.
