Description

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 world-sheet vectorial string momenta Pμm(τ,σ)) and the one with tensorial string momenta P[μν](τ,σ). We show how to obtain in mixed spacetime-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
