In this note we discuss some aspects of the frame formulation of conformal higher spins in three dimensions. We give some exact formulae for the coupled spin two - spin three part of the full higher spin theory and propose a star product…
We analyze the low-energy spin structure of the nucleon in a covariant effective field theory with explicit spin-3/2 degrees of freedom to third order in the small scale expansion. Using the available data on the strong and electromagnetic…
Recently a new model has been proposed to describe free massive spin-2 particles in $D$ dimensions in terms of a non symmetric rank-2 tensor $e_{\mu\nu}$ and a mixed symmetry tensor $B^{\mu[\alpha\beta]}$. The model is invariant under…
We derive the semiclassical limit of the coherent state propagator for systems with two degrees of freedom of which one degree of freedom is canonical and the other a spin. Systems in this category include those involving spin-orbit…
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)…

In this paper, we explore the field propagator with a structure that is general enough to encompass both the case of newly-defined mass-dimension $1$ fermions and spin-$1/2$ bosons. The method we employ is to define a map between spinors of…
We consider a composite spin-half particle moving in spatially-varying scalar and vector fields. The vector field is assumed to couple to a conserved charge, but no assumption is made about either the structure of the composite or its…
Local boundary conditions involving field strengths and the normal to the boundary, originally studied in anti-de Sitter space-time, have been recently considered in one-loop quantum cosmology. This paper derives the conditions under which…
We explore some aspects of three-dimensional higher-spin holography by studying scalar fluctuations in the background of higher-spin black holes. We furnish an independent derivation of the bulk-boundary propagator by purely invoking a…
We develop a second order formalism for spin 1/2 fermions based on the projection over Poincar\'{e} invariant subspaces in the $(1/2,0)\oplus(0,1/2)$ representation of the homogeneous Lorentz group. Using $U(1)_{em}$ gauge principle we…
The covariant description of massless particles of arbitrary spin typically employs symmetric tensors of rank $s$ and rests on a local symmetry carried by symmetric tensor parameters of rank $s-1$, suitably generalizing the $U(1)$…
We explore a new possibility of BRST construction in higher spin field theory to obtain a consistent Lagrangian for massive spin-2 field in Einstein space. Such approach automatically leads to gauge invariant Lagrangian with suitable…
We consider different spin supplementary conditions (SSC) for a spinning compact binary with the leading-order spin-orbit (SO) interaction. The Lagrangian of the binary system can be constructed but it is acceleration-dependent in two cases…
Equations for 16-component vector-bispinor field, originated from Rarita-Schwinger Lagrangian for spin 3/2 field extended to Riemannian space-time are investigated. Additional general covariant constrains for the field are produced, which…
