We review the construction of Lagrangians for higher spin fields of mixed symmetry in the framework of graded geometry. The main advantage of the graded formalism in this context is that it provides universal expressions, in the sense that…
We investigate the constraint equations of the Lounesto spinor fields classification and show that it can be used to completely characterize all the singular classes, which are potential accommodations for further mass dimension one…
A gauge-invariant reformulation of QCD in three spacetime dimensions is presented within a Hamiltonian formalism, extending previous work to include fermion fields in the adjoint and fundamental representations. A priori there are several…
Bearing in mind the Lounesto spinor classification, we connect the expansion coefficients of well behaved fermionic quantum field, i.e., a local field within a full Lorentz covariant theory, with and only with a given subclass of Type-2…
With a non-unitary transformation, the Lagrangian of a Dirac fermion is decomposed into two decoupled sectors. We propose to describe massive relativistic fermions in gauge theories in a two-component form. All relations between the Green's…
The fermion representation for S = 1/2 spins is generalized to spins with arbitrary magnitudes. The symmetry properties of the representation is analyzed where we find that the particle-hole symmetry in the spinon Hilbert space of S =1/2…
In this paper, we explore a new type of global symmetries$-$the fermionic higher-form symmetries. They are generated by topological operators with fermionic parameter, which act on fermionic extended objects. We present a set of field…
We review the structure of local Lagrangians and field equations for free bosonic and fermionic gauge fields of mixed symmetry in flat space. These are first presented in a constrained setting extending the metric formulation of linearized…
In a space of d $(d > 5) $ ordinary and d Grassmann coordinates, fields manifest in an ordinary four-dimensional subspace as spinor (1/2, 3/2), scalar, vector or tensor fields with the corresponding charges, according to two kinds of…
In this paper we consider the frame-like formulation for the so called infinite (continuous) spin representations of the Poincare algebra. In the three dimensional case we give explicit Lagrangian formulation for bosonic and fermionic…
Three-dimensional topological insulators can be described by an effective field theory involving two `hydrodynamic' Abelian gauge fields. The action contains a bulk topological BF term and a surface term, called loop model. This describes…
We give a covariant construction of Lagrangians for spinor fields in generic Newton-Cartan backgrounds. A non-relativistic Dirac/Levy-Leblond operator and the associated fields are obtained from relativistic analogues by a limiting…
We study the projective behavior, mainly with respect to osculating spaces and secant varieties, of Lagrangian Grassmannians and Spinor varieties. We prove that these varieties have osculating dimension smaller than expected. Furthermore,…
The three dimensional abelian fermionic determinant of a two component massive spinor in flat euclidean space-time is resetted to a pure Chern-Simons action through a nonlinear redefinition of the gauge field.
Because spatio-temporal tensors are associated with the Lorentz group, whereas spinors are associated with its covering group SL(2, C), one can associate with every tensor a spinor (but not vice versa). In particular, the (1,0)+(0,1)…
We develop a general gauge invariant Lagrangian construction for half-integer higher spin fields in the AdS space of any dimension. Starting with formulation in terms of auxiliary Fock space we derive the closed nonlinear symmetry algebras…
The purpose of this article is to initiate a study of a class of Lorentz invariant, yet tractable, Lagrangian Field Theories which may be viewed as an extension of the Klein-Gordon Lagrangian to many scalar fields in a novel manner. These…

We discuss a new approach for putting gauge theories on the lattice. The gauge fields are defined on the lattice only, but are interpolated to the interior of the lattice cells, where they couple to continuum fermions. The purpose of this…
The description of the internal spaces of fermion and boson fields with "basis vectors", which are the superposition of odd and even products of the operators $\gamma^a$, offers in $d=2(2n+1)$-dimensions, such as $d=(13+1)$, a unified…
