We show that a spin-$5/2$ field can be consistently coupled to gravitation without cosmological constant in five-dimensional spacetimes. The fermionic gauge "hypersymmetry" requires the presence of a finite number of additional fields,…
We propose a scalar-tensor representation of $f(R)$ theories with use of conformal transformations. In this representation, the model takes the form of the Brans-Dicke model with a potential function and a non-zero kinetic term for the…
Gauge-invariant descriptions for a free bosonic scalar field of continuous spin in a $d$-dimensional Minkowski space-time using a metric-like formulation are constructed on the basis of a constrained BRST-BFV approach we propose. The…
The theory of freely-propagating massless higher spins is usually formulated via gauge fields and parameters subject to trace constraints. We summarize a proposal allowing to forego them by introducing only a pair of additional fields in…
On the basis of a general action principle, we revisit the scale invariant field equation using the co-tensor relations by Dirac (1973). This action principle also leads to an expression for the scale factor $\lambda$, which corresponds to…
We show that the parent Lagrangian method gives a natural generalization of the dual theories concept for non p-form fields. Using this generalization we construct here a three-parameter family of Lagrangians that are dual to the…
We consider scalar field theory defined over a direct product of the real and $p$-adic numbers. An adjustable dynamical scaling exponent $z$ enters into the microscopic lagrangian, so that the Gaussian theories provide a line of fixed…
In this short note we show, at the level of action principles, how the light-cone action of higher spin gauge fields can easily be obtained from the BRST formulation through the elimination of quartets. We analyze how the algebra of…
We propose a new relativistic Lorentz-invariant spin-noncommutative algebra. Using the Weyl ordering of noncommutative position operators, we build an analogue of the Moyal-Groenewald product for the proposed algebra. The Lagrange function…
In standard quantum field theory, the one-particle states are classified by the unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group, whereas the causal fields' classification employs the finite-dimensional (non-unitary) representations of the…
We derive a new kind of recursion relation to obtain the one-particle-irreducible (1PI) Feynman diagrams for the effective action. By using this method, we have obtained the graphical representation of the four-loop effective action in case…
In the celebrated Stern-Gerlach experiment an inhomogeneous static magnetic field separates a beam of charge-neutral atoms with opposite spins, thereby driving a ``spin current" normal to the propagation direction. Here we generalize it to…
Conformal totally symmetric arbitrary spin fermionic fields propagating in the flat space-time of even dimension greater than or equal to four are investigated. First-derivative metric-like formulation involving Fang-Fronsdal kinetic…
On the basis of the Wigner unitary representations of the covering group ISL(2,C) of the Poincar\'{e} group, we obtain spin-tensor wave functions of free massive particles with arbitrary spin. The wave functions automatically satisfy the…
Motivated by the success of models based on chiral symmetry in NN interactions we investigate self-interacting scalar, pseudoscalar and vector meson fields and their impact for NN forces. We parametrize the corresponding nonlinear field…
We propose the relativistic point particle models invariant under the bosonic counterpart of SUSY. The particles move along the world lines in four dimensional Minkowski space extended by $N$ commuting Weyl spinors. The models provide after…
We show how to "concatenate" variational principles over different bases into one over a single base, thereby providing a unified Lagrangian treatment of interacting systems. As an example we study a Klein-Gordon field interacting with a…
Starting from the Pauli Hamiltonian operator, we derive a scalar quantum kinetic equations for spin-1/2 systems. Here the regular Wigner two-state matrix is replaced by a scalar distribution function in extended phase space. Apart from…
The most general 2+1 dimensional spinning particle model is considered. The action functional may involve all the possible first order Poincare invariants of world lines, and the particular class of actions is specified thus the…
