We show that the conditions which originate the spin and pseudospin symmetries in the Dirac equation are the same that produce equivalent energy spectra of relativistic spin-1/2 and spin-0 particles in the presence of vector and scalar…
In this article we prove spin statistics theorem for arbitrary massive (A, B) field in a representation theoretic manner. General Gamma matrices are introduced, and explicit forms for low spin are calculated. Spin sums and twisted spin sums…
A method is described by which a function defined on a cubic grid (as from a finite difference solution of a partial differential equation) can be resolved into spherical harmonic components at some fixed radius. This has applications to…
We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor…
We consider integrals of spherical harmonics with Fourier exponents on the sphere $S^n ,\, n \geq 1$. Such transforms arise in the framework of the theory of weighted Radon transforms and vector diffraction in electromagnetic fields theory.…
In a previous paper, we saw how to create formulae for the sum of the terms of a harmonic progression of order $k$, $HP_k(n)$, with integer parameters, $a$ and $b$. In this new paper we make those formulae more general by lifting the…
The transverse traceless spin-two tensor harmonics on $S^3$ and $H^3$ may be denoted by $T^{(kl)}{}_{ab}$. The index $k$ labels the (degenerate) eigenvalues of the Laplacian $\square$ and $l$ the other indices. We compute the bitensor…
We propose a generalization of pseudospin and spin symmetries, the SU(2) symmetries of Dirac equation with scalar and vector mean-field potentials originally found independently in the 70's by Smith and Tassie, and Bell and Ruegg. As…
This is Chapter 1 of the book {\it Approximation Theory and Harmonic Analysis on Spheres and Balls} by the authors. It provides a self-contained introduction to spherical harmonics. The book will be published as a title in {\it Springer…
The essentially unique torsionful version of the classical two-component spinor formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden is presented. All the metric spinors and connecting objects that arise here are formally the same as the ones borne by…
Expanding on the recent derivation of tidal actions for scalar particles, we present here the action for a tidally deformed spin-$1/2$ particle. Focusing on operators containing two powers of the Weyl tensor, we combine the Hilbert series…
We consider a spin coherent states description of a general quantum spin system. It is shown that it is possible to use the spin-1/2 representation to study the general spin-J case. We identify the 1/2 spinor components as the homogeneous…
Spinors are used in physics quite extensively. The goal of this study is also the spinor structure lying in the basis of the quaternion algebra. In this paper, first, we have introduced spinors mathematically. Then, we have defined…
On the basis of our recent modifications of the Dirac formalism we generalize the Bargmann-Wigner formalism for higher spins to be compatible with other formalisms for bosons. Relations with dual electrodynamics, with the…
We develop a systematic framework for constructing spherical harmonics on the two-dimensional unit sphere as superpositions of Gaussian beams whose poles form well-separated point configurations. The distributional and analytic properties…
Twistor formulation of massive arbitrary spin particle has been constructed. Twistor space of such particle is formed two twistors and two complex scalars which form together 'bosonic supertwistor'. The formulation is deduced from…
We prove the existence of singular harmonic ${\bf Z}_2$ spinors on $3$-manifolds with $b_1 > 1$. The proof relies on a wall-crossing formula for solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equation with two spinors. The existence of singular harmonic…
The study of spherical harmonics in superspace, introduced in [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40 (2007) 7193-7212], is further elaborated. A detailed description of spherical harmonics of degree k is given in terms of bosonic and fermionic…
The so-called Dirac oscillator was proposed as a modification of the free Dirac equation which reproduces many of the properties of the simple harmonic oscillator but accompanied by a strong spin-orbit coupling term. It has yet to be…
It has been known for some time that topological geons in quantum gravity may lead to a complete violation of the canonical spin-statistics relation : there may exist no connection between spin and statistics for a pair of geons. We present…
