It has been proposed several times in the past that one can obtain an equivalent, but in many aspects simpler description of fermions by first reformulating their first-order (Dirac) Lagrangian in terms of two-component spinors, and then…
We present a construction of a non-hermitian fermionic Lagrangian which has a second-order kinetic term. Despite the non-hermicity of the latter, the theory is unitary and the perturbation theory that can be derived is equivalent to the…
Two-spinor formalism for Einstein Lagrangian is developed. The gravitational field is regarded as a composite object derived from soldering forms. Our formalism is geometrically and globally well-defined and may be used in virtually any…
Following systematically the generalized Hamiltonian approach of Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin (BFT), we embed the second-class non-abelian SU(2) Higgs model in the unitary gauge into a gauge invariant theory. The strongly involutive…
We systematically embed the SU(2)$\times$U(1) Higgs model in the unitary gauge into a fully gauge-invariant theory by following the generalized BFT formalism. We also suggest a novel path to get a first-class Lagrangian directly from the…
The bundles suitable for a description of higher-spin fields can be built in terms of a 2-spinor bundle as the basic `building block'. This allows a clear, direct view of geometric constructions aimed at a theory of such fields on a curved…
Second-order Lagrangian densities admitting a first-order Hamiltonian formalism are studied; namely, i) for each second-order Lagrangian density on an arbitrary fibred manifold $p\colon E\to N$ the Poincar\'e-Cartan form of which is…
We reconstruct the Lagrangian of a left-right symmetric model with the gauge group $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_Y \times \pi_4(SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_Y) $. The Higgs fields appear as gauge fields on discrete gauge group…
We describe a new BF-type first-order in derivatives Lagrangian for General Relativity. The Lagrangian depends on a connection field as well as a Lie-algebra valued two-form field, with no other fields present. There are two free…
We use a description based on differential forms to systematically explore the space of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Within this formalism, we propose a basis for the scalar sector at the lowest order in derivatives of the field and…
An extension of the Standard Model is proposed, where the Higgs field is valued in the complex projective plane ${\mathbb{CP}}^2$, rather than ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Its geometry is consistent with $U(2) \simeq (SU(2) \times U(1))/ \mathbb{Z}_2$…
We incorporate Sogami's idea in the standard model into our previous formulation of non-commutative differential geometry by extending the action of the extra exterior derivative operator on spinors defined over the discrete space-time;…
A modified formulation of the Electroweak Model with 3-dimensional spherical geometry in the target space is suggested. The {\it free} Lagrangian in the spherical field space along with the standard gauge field Lagrangian form the full…
We consider the standard model up to the second order of the perturbation theory (in the causal approach) and derive the most general form of the interaction Lagrangian for an arbitrary number of Higgs fields.
We show that the renormalizable SO(4) X U (1) X SU (2) X SU (3) Yang Mills coupled to matter and the Higgs field fits all the experimentally observed differential cross sections known in nature. This extended Standard Model reproduces the…
In this letter we use the spurion field approach adopted in hep-th/0307099 in order to show that by adding F and F^2 terms to the original lagrangian, the N=1/2 Wess-Zumino model is renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory. We…
We consider classical gauge theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking on a principal bundle $P\to X$ whose structure group $G$ is reducible to a closed subgroup $H$, and sections of the quotient bundle $P/H\to X$ are treated as classical…
The complete, missing, Hamiltonian treatment of the standard SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) model with Grassmann-valued fermion fields in the Higgs phase is given. We bypass the complications of the Hamiltonian theory in the Higgs phase, resulting from…
Due to renewed interest in D=5 supergravity and its quartic fermionic terms, fuelled by very recent work on supersymmetric quantum cosmology we correct an error in eq.(4) of the paper cited in the title. We also give the Lagrangian in…
We construct a modification of the standard model which stabilizes the Higgs mass against quadratically divergent radiative corrections, using ideas originally discussed by Lee and Wick in the context of a finite theory of quantum…
