vi
The antisymmetric Cμν​ transforms as a Lorentz tensor, so its complete contraction
C2​=Cμν​Cμν
(1)
is a Lorentz scalar. Hence
[Mρσ,C2​]=0.
(2)
Parts ii and v give [Pρ​,C2​]=[Qα​,C2​]=[Qˉ​α˙​,C2​]=0. It therefore commutes with every generator of the Super-Poincaré algebra and is a Casimir element, called the superspin Casimir.
