Further properties of a recently proposed higher order infinite spin particle model are derived. Infinitely many classically equivalent but different Hamiltonian formulations are shown to exist. This leads to a condition of uniqueness in…
We derive a local, gauge invariant action for the SU(N) non-linear sigma-model in 2+1 dimensions. In this setting, the model is defined in terms of a self-interacting pseudo vector-field \theta_\mu, with values in the Lie algebra of the…
