Their objective has been two-fold. First, to introduce theorists with some background in group representations to the notion of twistors with an emphasis on their conformal properties; a short guide to the literature on the subject is designed to compensate in part for the imcompleteness and the one-sidedness of our review. Secondly, we present a systematic study of po- sitive energy conformal orbits in terms of twistor flag manifolds. They are interpre- ted as cl assi ca 1 phase spaces of \"conformal parti cl es\"; a characteri sti c property of such particles is the dilation invariance of their mass spectrum which, there fore, consists either of the point zero or of the infinite interval 222 o\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280301252759,"sku":"9783540168904","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783540168904.webp?v=1769295932","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/conformal-description-of-spinning-particles-9783540168904","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
