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.
- (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.
