We construct the higher-spin massive fermionic fields in 2+1 dimensions. Their field equations and propagators are derived from first principle. For fields with j>1/2, complications arise from the non-linear behaviour of the boost…
We study fermionic and bosonic systems coupled to a real or synthetic static gauge field that is quantized, so the field itself is a quantum degree of freedom and can exist in coherent superposition. A natural example is electrons on a…
