One way of describing gauge theories in physics is to assign a vector space $V_{x}$ to each space time point $x.$ For each $x$ the field $\psi$ takes values $\psi(x)$ in $V_{x}.$ The freedom to choose a basis in each $V_{x}$ introduces…
The relations existing between the auxiliary field (einbein field) formalism and the spinless Salpeter equation are studied in the case of two particles with the same mass, interacting via a confining potential. The problem of…
Free field equations, with various spins, for space-time algebras with second-rank tensor (instead of usual vector) momentum are constructed. Similar algebras are appearing in superstring/M theories. The most attention is payed to the gauge…
The transformation properties of a Kalb-Ramond field are those of a gauge potential. However, it is not clear what is the group structure to which these transformations are associated. In this paper, we complete a program started in…
We construct a class of Abelian and non-Abelian local gauge theories that consist only of matter fields of fermions. The Lagrangian is compact and local without containing an auxiliary vector field nor a subsidiary condition on the matter…
In the groupoid approach to noncommutative quantization of gravity, gravitational field is quantized in terms of a C*-algebra A of complex valued funcions on a groupoid G (with convolution as multiplication). In the noncommutative quantum…
In free completely symmetric tensor gauge field theories on Minkowski space-time, all gauge invariant functions and Killing tensor fields are computed, both on-shell and off-shell. These problems are addressed in the metric-like formalisms.
A noncommutative space is considered the position operators of which satisfy the commutativity relations of a Lie algebra. The basic tools for calculation on this space, including the product of the fields, inner product and the proper…

We extend our analysis for scalar fields in a Robertson-Walker metric to the electromagnetic field and Dirac fields by the method of invariants. The issue of the relation between conformal properties and particle production is re-examined…
We consider the supersymmetric field theories on the noncommutative $R^4$ using the superspace formalism on the commutative space. The terms depending on the parameter of the noncommutativity $\Theta$ are regarded as the interactions. In…
This paper shows how to obtain the spinor field and dynamics from the vielbein and geometry of General Relativity. The spinor field is physically realized as an orthogonal transformation of the vielbein, and the spinor action enters as the…
The fundamental interactions of nature, the electroweak and the quantum chromodynamics, are described in the Standard Model by the Gauge Theory under internal symmetries that maintain the invariance of the functional action. The fundamental…
We review the interactions of massive fields of arbitrary integer spins with the constant electromagnetic field and symmetrical Einstein space in the gauge invariant framework. The problem of obtaining the gauge-invariant Lagrangians of…
In this paper we elaborate on higher spin cubic interactions for massless, massive and partially massless fields. We work in the gauge invariant frame-like multispinor formalism, combining Lagrangian and unfolded formulations.
Some noncommutative (NC) theories posses a certain type of dualities that are implicitly built within their structure. In this paper we establish still another example of this kind. More precisely, we show that the noncommutative U(1) gauge…
We formulate a non-linear system of equations which describe higher-spin gauge interactions of massive matter fields in 2+1 dimensional space-time and explain some properties of the deformed oscillator algebra which underlies this…
We discuss gravity-like formulations of massive Abelian and non-Abelian gauge field theories in four space-time dimensions with particular emphasis on the issue of gauge invariance. Alternative descriptions in terms of antisymmetric tensor…
A review of some facts concerning classical spacetime geometry is presented together with a description of the most elementary aspects of the two-component spinor formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden. Special attention is concentrated…
We consider theories for scalar and vector fields coupled to the energy-momentum tensor. Since these fields also carry a non-trivial energy-momentum tensor, the coupling prescription generates self-interactions. In analogy with gravity…
