We construct, for spin $0,1,2$ tensor fields on S$^d$, a set of ladder operators that connect the distinct UIRs of SO$(d+1)$. This is achieved by relying on the conformal Killing vectors of S$^d$. For the case of spinning fields, the ladder…
This paper is intended to describe twistors via the paravector model of Clifford algebras and to relate such description to conformal maps in the Clifford algebra over R(4,1), besides pointing out some applications of the pure spinor…
Linear spinor fields are a generalization of the Dirac field that have transparent cluster decomposability properties needed for classical correspondence of relativistic quantum systems. The algebra of these fields directly incorporate…
We describe an embedding of the Poincare Lie algebra into an extension of the Lie field of SO(2,3) (the anti-de Sitter group). We also describe higher dimensional analogs of this embedding, which connect SO(p,q) groups to their associated…
This paper is devoted to the representations of the groups $SO (2,1)$ and $ISO (2,1)$. Those groups have an important role in cosmology, elementary particle theory and mathematical physics. Irreducible unitary representations of the…
A SU(2) intertwiner with N legs can be interpreted as the quantum state of a convex polyhedron with N faces (when working in 3d). We show that the intertwiner Hilbert space carries a representation of the non-compact group SO*(2N). This…
In the present paper we construct all short representation of $so(3,2)$ with the $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$ symmetry made manifest due to the use of $sl(2,\mathbb{C})$ spinors. This construction has a natural connection to the spinor-helicity…
We study classical spin networks with group SU(2). In the first part, using gaussian integrals, we compute their generating series in the case where the networks are equipped with holonomies; this generalizes Westbury's formula. In the…
In this note we present explicit and elementary formulas for the correspondence between the group of special Lorentz transformation $SO^+(3,1)$, on the one hand, and its spin group $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$, on the other hand. Although we will not…
The relationship between spinors and Clifford (or geometric) algebra has long been studied, but little consistency may be found between the various approaches. However, when spinors are defined to be elements of the even subalgebra of some…
In the 2-spinor formalism, the gravity can be dealt with curvature spinors with four spinor indices. Here we show a new effective method to express the components of curvature spinors in the rank-2 $4 \times 4$ tensor representation for the…
Manifestly covariant formulation of discrete-spin, real-mass unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group is given. We begin with a field of spin-frames associated with 4-mometa p and use them to simplify the eigenvalue problem for the…
The Riemann correlator with appropriately raised indices characterizes in a gauge-invariant way the quantum metric fluctuations around de Sitter spacetime including loop corrections from matter fields. Specializing to conformal fields and…
Super Poincare algebra in D = 6 space-time dimensions has been analysed in terms of quaternion analyticity of Lorentz group. Starting the connection of quaternion Lorentz group with SO(1; 5) group, the SL(2;H) spinors for Dirac & Weyl…
The general theoretical ground for the models based on the compact angle coordinates is presented. It is observed that the proper dependence on compact coordinates has to be through the group elements and is achieved most naturally in a…
From the group theoretical point of view, it is proved that the theory of linear conformal gravity should be written in terms of a tensor field of rank-3 and mixed symmetry [Binegar, et al, Phys. Rev. D 27, (1983) 2249]. We obtained such a…

We explore the classical setting for the U(N) framework for SU(2) intertwiners for loop quantum gravity (LQG) and describe the corresponding phase space in terms of spinors with appropriate constraints. We show how its quantization leads…
