Abstract: (AIP)
A manifestly Lorentzcovariant quantization scheme for (super) particles in ten dimensions is given, using octonionic twistor variables, also applying to D=3, 4, and 6. The field‐dependent gauge algebra for the twistor variables is (a superextension of) the seven‐sphere. A BRS treatment of this symmetry is performed. Comments are made on conformal invariance and the topology of twistor space.
