A model-independent formulation of anyons as spinning particles is presented. The general properties of the classical theory of (2+1)-dimensional relativistic fractional spin particles and some properties of their quantum theory are…

We consider a model of an elementary particle as a 2 + 1 dimensional brane evolving in a 3 + 1 dimensional space. Introducing gauge fields that live in the brane as well as normal surface tension can lead to a stable "elementary particle"…

Extended phase space of an elementary (relativistic) system is introduced in the spirit of the Souriau's definition of the `space of motions' for such system. Our formulation is generally applicable to any homogeneous space-time (e.g. de…

We develop general techniques for computing the fundamental group of the configuration space of $n$ identical particles, possessing a generic internal structure, moving on a manifold $M$. This group generalizes the $n$-string braid group of…

We investigate classical spin systems in $d\geq 1$ dimensions whose transfer operator commutes with the action of a nonamenable unitary representation of a symmetry group, here ${\rm SO}(1,N)$; these systems may alternatively be interpreted…

We study the Lie algebras of the covariant representations transforming the matter fields under the de Sitter isometries. We point out that the Casimir operators of these representations can be written in closed forms and we deduce how…

Though the irreducible representations of the Poincare' group form the groundwork for the formulation of relativistic quantum theories of a particle, robust classes of such representations are missed in current formulations of these…

The spatial symmetry of matter - including finite objects like molecules or atomic clusters, and extended objects like periodic or aperiodic crystals - is described using point groups and space groups. Magnetic point groups and space groups…

We establish exactly solvable models for the motion of neutral particles, electrically charged point and spin particles (U(1) symmetry), isospin particles (SU(2) symmetry), and particles with color charges (SU(3) symmetry) in a…

We consider a nonlinear generalization of Cauchy-Riemann eqs. to the algebra of biquaternions. From here we come to "universal generating equations" (1) which deal with 2-spinor and gauge fields and form the basis of some unified algebraic…

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…

An extensive group-theoretical treatment of linear relativistic field equations on Minkowski spacetime of arbitrary dimension D>2 is presented in these lecture notes. To start with, the one-to-one correspondence between linear relativistic…

States of thermal equilibrium of an infinite system of interacting particles in a Euclidean space are studied. The particles bear 'unbounded' spins with a given symmetric a priori distribution. The interaction between the particles is…

$CPT$ groups of higher spin fields are defined in the framework of automorphism groups of Clifford algebras associated with the complex representations of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group. Higher spin fields are understood as the…

We review the unified description of massless spinning particles, living in spaces of constant curvature, in the framework of the pseudoclassical approach with a gauged $N$-extended worldline supersymmetry and a local $O(N)$ invariance.

The past decade has witnessed a surge of interest in exploring emergent particles in condensed matter systems. Novel particles, emerged as excitations around exotic band degeneracy points, continue to be reported in real materials and…

A group structure of the discrete transformations (parity, time reversal and charge conjugation) for spinor field in de Sitter space are studied in terms of extraspecial finite groups. Two $CPT$ groups are introduced, the first group from…

Powerful general arguments allow only a few families of long-range interactions, exemplified by gauge field theories of electromagnetism and gravity. However, all of these arguments presuppose that massless fields have zero spin scale…

In this review, we have reached from the most basic definitions in the theory of groups, group structures, etc. to representation theory and irreducible representations of the Poincar'e group. Also, we tried to get a more comprehensible…

We classify and relate unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of the Carroll and dipole groups, i.e., we define elementary quantum Carroll and fracton particles and establish a correspondence between them. Whenever possible, we express…
