Abstract: (AIP)
It is shown that the superconformal transformations describe the isometry group of curved fermionic twistor space, with suitably generalized Fubini–Study Hermitian metric. Further, such a geometry is applied to derive a two-dimensional supersymmetric quark–twistor string model, described by the fermionic nonlinear SU(2,2;1) -invariant σ-model.
