We present a Lagrangian formulation for 4d integer-spin relativistic fields in the 5d space spanned by two conjugate Weyl spinors and a Lorentz-invariant proper-time coordinate. We construct a manifestly Poincare-invariant free classical…
It has been proposed in \cite{Park:2014tia} that 4D Einstein gravity becomes effectively reduced to 3D after solving the Lagrangian analogues of the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of the Hamiltonian quantization. The analysis in…
We propose new types of integrable spinor models, generalizing the well known ones of: i) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-Vaks-Larkin models, related to SU(N); ii) the Gross-Neveu models - SP(2N); and the iii) Zakharov-Mikhailov models - SO(N). We…
A generalization of the Lagrangian introduced earlier in [2011 {\it J. Phys. G} ${\bf 37}$ 105001] for a classical color spinning particle interacting with background non-Abelian gauge and fermion fields for purpose of considering a change…
The 2(2s+1)-component relativistic basis spinors for the arbitrary spin particles are established in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces, where s=0,1 / 2,1, 3 / 2, 2, ... . These spinors for integral- and half-integral spins are…
In this work we provide a triple master action interpolating among three self-dual descriptions of massive spin-3/2 particles in $D=2+1$ dimensions. Such result generalizes a master action previously suggested in the literature. We also…
We present several new results which will be of value to theorists working with massive spin-3/2 vector-spinor fields as found, for example, in low and intermediate energy hadron physics and also linearized supergravity. The general…
We provide novel linear combination of unitaries decompositions for a class of discrete elliptic differential operators. Specifically, Poisson problems augmented with periodic, Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, and mixed boundary conditions are…
In the context of weak-field metric-affine (i.e. Palatini) gravity near Minkowski spacetime, we compute the particle spectra in the simultaneous presence of all independent contractions quadratic in Ricci-type tensors. Apart from the full…
NRGR, an Effective Field Theory approach to gravity, has emerged as a powerful tool to systematically compute higher order corrections in the Post-Newtonian expansion. Here we discuss in somehow more detail the recently reported new results…
A system of PDEs for the electromagnetic field and one real component of the spinor field is generally equivalent to spinor electrodynamics. There are reasons to believe that the component can be differentially eliminated from the system. A…
This paper deals with a certain class of second-order conformally invariant operators acting on functions taking values in particular (finite-dimensional) irreducible representations of the orthogonal group. These operators can be seen as a…
We construct invariant differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles of densities over a smooth manifold without using a Riemannian metric. The spectral invariants of such operators are invariant under both the diffeomorphisms…
We present a new representation of spin operators in terms of bosonic creation-annihilation operators. This representation allows us to formulate a new field-theoretical description of spin systems which is free of any constraints. The…
We point out that extended gravity theories, the Lagrangian of which is an arbitrary function of scalar curvature $R$, are equivalent to a class of the scalar tensor theories of gravity. The corresponding gravity theory is $\omega=0$…
We examine three point functions with two scalar operators and a higher spin current in 2d W_N minimal model to the next non-trivial order in 1/N expansion. The minimal model was proposed to be dual to a 3d higher spin gauge theory, and 1/N…
We extend the $S$-matrix of gravity by the addition of the minimal three-point amplitude or equivalently adding $R^3$ terms to the Lagrangian. We demonstrate how Unitarity can be used to simply examine the renormalisability of this theory…
In these notes we describe how to formulate the Lagrangian insertion technique in a way that mimics generalized unitarity. We introduce a notion of cuts in real space and show that the cuts of the correlators in the…
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of a free spinning particle in 2+1-dimensions or {\it anyon} are established, following closely the analysis of Hanson and Regge. Two viable (and inequivalent) Lagrangians are derived. It is also…
In this paper we investigate possible consistent ghost-free models containing massive spin 2 particles in three dimensions. We work in a constructive approach based on the frame-like gauge invariant description for such massive spin 2…
