The nilpotence variety for extended supersymmetric quantum mechanics is a cone over a quadric in projective space. The pure spinor correspondence, which relates the description of off-shell supermultiplets to the classification of modules…
A common view is that generalization of a wave equation on Riemannian space-time is substantially determined by what a particle is - boson or fermion. As a rule, they say that tensor equations for bosons are extended in a simpler way then…
We consider the generalization of the "spinor approach" to the Lorentzian case, in the context of 3d loop quantum gravity with cosmological constant $\Lambda=0$. The key technical tool that allows this generalization is the recoupling…
We calculate the relevant Spencer cohomology of the minimal Poincar\'e superalgebra in 5 spacetime dimensions and use it to define Killing spinors via a connection on the spinor bundle of a 5-dimensional lorentzian spin manifold. We give a…
The dual purpose of this article is to establish bilinear Poincare-type estimates associated to an approximation of the identity and to explore the connections between bilinear pseudo-differential operators and bilinear potential-type…
Not all complete set of spinors can be used as expansion coefficients of a quantum field. In fact, Steven Weinberg established the uniqueness of Dirac spinors for this purpose provided: (a) one paid due attention to the multiplicative…
We consider the Riemann-Cartan geometry as a basis for the Einstein-Sciama-Kibble theory coupled to spinor fields: we focus on $f(R)$ and conformal gravities, regarding the flag-dipole spinor fields, type-(4) spinor fields under the…
We develop an Hamiltonian representation of the sl(2,C) algebra on a phase space consisting of N copies of twistors, or bi-spinors. We identify a complete set of global invariants, and show that they generate a closed algebra including…
Using the general theory of [10] ( hep-th 9412058 ), quantum Poincar\'e groups (without dilatations) are described and investigated. The description contains a set of numerical parameters which satisfy certain polynomial equations. For most…
A consistent phenomenology of the interaction of particles of arbitrary spin requires covariant spinors, field operators, propagators and model interactions. Guided by an approach originally proposed by Weinberg, we construct from group…
The article is dedicated to q-deformed versions of spinor calculus. As a kind of review, the most relevant properties of the two-dimensional quantum plane are summarized. Additionally, the relationship between the quantum plane and…
In this paper, a survey of the recent results about the classification of the connected holonomy groups of the Lorentzian manifolds is given. A simplification of the construction of the Lorentzian metrics with all possible connected…
Bilinear pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the bilinear analog of all the H\"ormander classes are considered and the possibility of a symbolic calculus for the transposes of the operators in such classes is investigated. Precise…
We introduce a notion of twisted pure spinor in order to characterize, in a unified way, all the special Riemannian holonomy groups just as a classical pure spinor characterizes the special K\"ahler holonomy. Motivated by certain curvature…
The U(N) framework and the spinor representation for loop quantum gravity are two new points of view that can help us deal with the most fundamental problems of the theory. Here, we review the detailed construction of the U(N) framework…
Multipartite generalizations of spin coherent states are introduced and analyzed. These are the spin analogues of multimode optical coherent states as used in continuous variable quantum information, but generalized to possess full spin…
This is a doctoral thesis on the application of techniques originally developed in the programme of characterisation of supersymmetric solutions to Supergravity theories, to finding alternative backgrounds. We start by discussing the…
This work is a generalization of \cite{baldiotti2021} to Grassmann algebras of arbitrary dimensions. Here we present a covariant quantization scheme for pseudoclassical theories focused on non-hermitian quantum mechanics. The quantization…
This paper is intended to be a further step through our Killing spinor programme started with Class. Quantum Grav. \textbf{32}, 175007 (2015), and we will advance our programme in accordance with the road map recently given in…
The Ramond-Ramond sector of double field theory (DFT) can be described either as an O(D,D) spinor or an O(D-1,1) x O(1,D-1) bispinor. Both formulations may be related to the standard polyform expansion in terms of even or odd rank field…
