    • 1902, Child study in Chicago, page 1108:
      [] children on the average are unidextrous, with the right hand superior at the time they enter school, and that the unidexterity increases during the early years of adolescence.
  2. (string theory) Displaying a restricted form of supersymmetry that is one-sided, allowing only one type of transformation.
    • 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.
