Definitions

Adjective
  1. 1
    monodextrous.

    "[…]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. 2
    Displaying a restricted form of supersymmetry that is one-sided, allowing only one type of transformation.

    "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."
