We derive manifestly covariant actions of spinning particles starting from coadjoint orbits of isometry groups, by using Hamiltonian reductions. We show that the defining conditions of a classical Lie group can be treated as Hamiltonian…
This work is a natural continuation of our recent study in quantizing relativistic particles. There it was demonstrated that, by applying a consistent quantization scheme to a classical model of a spinless relativistic particle as well as…
Motion of a classical particle in 3-dimensional Lobachevsky and Riemann spaces is studied in the presence of an external magnetic field which is analogous to a constant uniform magnetic field in Euclidean space. In both cases three…
We elaborate on conformal higher-spin gauge theory in three-dimensional (3D) curved space. For any integer $n>2$ we introduce a conformal spin-$\frac{n}{2}$ gauge field $h_{(n)} =h_{\alpha_1\dots \alpha_n}$ (with $n$ spinor indices) of…
It is common practice to describe elementary particles by irreducible unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group. In the same way, multi-particle systems can be described by irreducible unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group.…
In a previous paper, we considered the motion of massive spinning test particles in the "pole-dipole" approximation, as described by the Mathisson--Papapetrou--Dixon (MPD) equations, and examined its properties in dependence on the spin…
Starting with a manifestly conformal ($O(d,2)$ invariant) mechanics model in $d$ space and 2 time dimensions, we derive the action for a massless spinning particle in $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The action obtained possesses both…
Extended particles are considered in terms of the fields on the Poincar\'{e} group. Dirac like wave equations for extended particles of any spin are defined on the various homogeneous spaces of the Poincar\'{e} group. Free fields of the…
A new model of relativistic massive particle with arbitrary spin (($m,s$)-particle) is suggested. Configuration space of the model is a product of Minkowski space and two-dimensional sphere, ${\cal M}^6 = {\Bbb R}^{3,1} \times S^2$. The…
Wigner's particle classification provides for "continuous spin" representations of the Poincar\'e group, corresponding to a class of (as yet unobserved) massless particles. Rather than building their induced realizations by use of "Wigner…
By means of the method of moving Frenet-Serret frame the set of equations of motion is derived for spinning particle in an arbitrary external field, which is determined by potential depending from both position and the state of movement, as…
A natural extension of the Pasterski-Shao-Strominger (PSS) prescription is described, enabling the map of Minkowski space amplitudes with massive spinning external legs to the celestial sphere to be performed. An integral representation for…
A conformally invariant model of two interacting massless particles in Minkowski space was proposed by Casalbuoni and Gomis [1]. We generalize this model to the case of de Sitter space from the perspective of geodesic distance, in such a…
We construct the model with light-like world-lines for the massive 4D spinning particles and 3D anyons. It is obtained via the formal bosonization of pseudoclassical model for the massive Dirac particle with subsequent reduction to the…
We have investigated some issues relevant for the possibility to construct physical theories on the $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime. The notion of field in $\kappa$-Minkowski has been introduced by generalizing the Weyl…
The proof is presented that the Poincare symmetry determines the equations of motion for massless particles of any spin in 2n-dimensional spaces, which are linear in the momentum.
The motion of charged particles in spacetimes containing a submanifold of constant positive or negative curvature is considered, with the electromagnetic tensor proportional to the volume two-form form of the submanifold. In the positive…
The propagator of a spinning particle in external Abelian field and in arbitrary dimensions is presented by means of a path integral. The problem has different solutions in even and odd dimensions. In even dimensions the representation is…
In a previous work we showed that spin can be envisioned as living in a phase space that is dual to the standard phase space of position and momentum. In this work we demonstrate that the second class constraints inherent in this "Dual…
The author discusses particular solutions of a second order equation designated by source equation. This equation is special because the metric of the space where it is written is influenced by the solution, rendering the equation…
