   • 2011, Weaving Worldsheet Supermultiplets from the Worldlines Within, page 1:

     Using the fact that every worldsheet may be ruled by two copies of worldlines, a restricted version of Weyl's construction of representations of algebras is used to extend the recent classification of off-shell supermultiplets of iV-extended worldline supersymmetry to usual off-shell and also unidextrous (on-the-half-shell) supermultiplets of worldsheet (p, g)-supersymmetry with no central extension.

   • 2012, The Real Anatomy of Complex Linear Superfields, page 13:

     Owing to the "bow-ties theorems" of Ref. [54], it is clear that this valise (3.22) by itself cannot extend even to worldsheet supersymmetry (other than the trivial extension cases of unidextrous (4,0)- and (0,4)-supersymmetry), and therefore certainly does not extend to supersymmetry in any higher-dimensional spacetime.
