We explicitly derive, following a Noether-like approach, the criteria for preserving Poincare invariance in noncommutative gauge theories. Using these criteria we discuss the various spacetime symmetries in such theories. It is shown that,…
We discuss the construction of a free scalar quantum field theory on $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime. We do so in terms of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e-invariant $N$-point functions, i.e. multilocal functions which respect the deformed…
It is known that every irreducible unitary representation of positive energy of the Poincar\'e group can be realized as a subspace of tensor fields on Minkowski spacetime subjected to suitable partial differential equations. We first…

We study the Lie bialgebra structures that can be built on the one-dimensional central extension of the Poincar\'e and (A)dS algebras in (1+1) dimensions. These central extensions admit more than one interpretation, but the simplest one is…

In this paper we prove a conjecture regarding the form of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian with a U(1)^2n gauge group after the elimination of the auxiliary fields. We show that the Lagrangian can be written as a symmetrized trace of Lorentz…
All supersymmetric gauge theories based on simple groups which have an affine quantum moduli space, i.e. one generated by gauge invariants with no relations, W=0, and anomaly matching at the origin, are classified. It is shown that the only…
We propose a description of continuous spin massless fields of mixed-symmetry type in Minkowski space at the level of equations of motion. It is based on the appropriately modified version of the constrained system originally used to…
We show how implementing invariance under divergence-free gauge transformations leads to a remarkably simple Lagrangian description of massless bosons of any spin. Our construction covers both flat and (A)dS backgrounds and extends to…
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…

Linear spinor fields are a generalization of the Dirac field that have direct correspondence with the known physics of fermions, inherent causality properties in their most fundamental constructions, and positive mass eigenvalues for all…
This paper is the second part of a series that develops the mathematical framework necessary for studying field theories on ``T-Minkowski'' noncommutative spacetimes. These spacetimes constitute a class of noncommutative geometries,…
