The antisymmetric transforms as a Lorentz tensor, so its complete contraction
is a Lorentz scalar. Hence
Parts ii and v give . It therefore commutes with every generator of the Super-Poincaré algebra and is a Casimir element, called the superspin Casimir.

The superspin Casimir classifies massive supermultiplets analogously to the Pauli-Lubanski Casimir for Poincare representations. One construction contracts the tensor , where is the supersymmetric correction of the Pauli-Lubanski pseudovector.
