We develop a general formalism of duality rotations for bosonic conformal spin-$s$ gauge fields, with $s\geq 2$, in a conformally flat four-dimensional spacetime. In the $s=1$ case this formalism is equivalent to the theory of…
For a closed, spin, odd dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Y,g)$, we define the rho invariant $\rho_{spin}(Y,E,H, g)$ for the twisted Dirac operator $D^E_H$ on $Y$, acting on sections of a flat hermitian vector bundle $E$ over $Y$, where $H…
The aim of this article is to give a generalization of the Cauchy-Pompeiu integral formula for functions valued in parameter-depending elliptic algebras with structure polynomial $X^2 + \beta X + \alpha$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are real…
The superform construction of supersymmetric invariants, which consists of integrating the top component of a closed superform over spacetime, is reviewed. The cohomological methods necessary for the analysis of closed superforms are…
We propose a realisation of partially-massless higher spin algebras in four dimensions in terms of bosonic and fermionic oscillators, using Howe duality between $sp(4,\mathbb R) \cong so(2,3)$ and $osp(1|2(\ell-1), \mathbb R)$. More…
We evaluate one-loop partition functions of higher-spin fields in thermal flat space with angular potentials; this computation is performed in arbitrary space-time dimension, and the result is a simple combination of Poincar\'e characters.…
We consider the consequences of global higher-spin symmetries in quantum field theories on a fixed de Sitter background of spacetime dimension $D \ge 3$. These symmetries enhance the symmetry group associated with the isometries of the de…
Let $I_{\alpha}$ be the linear and $\mathcal{I}_{\alpha}$ be the bilinear fractional integral operators. In the linear setting, it is known that the two-weight inequality holds for the first order commutators of $I_{\alpha}$. But the method…
We study two dimensional systems with extended conformal symmetry generated by the ${\mathcal W}_3$ algebra. These are expected to have an infinite number of commuting conserved charges, which we refer to as the quantum Boussinesq charges.…
On the basis of our recent modifications of the Dirac formalism we generalize the Bargmann-Wigner formalism for higher spins to be compatible with other formalisms for bosons. Relations with dual electrodynamics, with the…
It is shown that Weyl spinors in 4D Minkowski space are composed of primary fields of half-integer conformal weights. This yields representations of fermionic 2-point functions in terms of correlators of primary fields with a factorized…
In this paper we propose a non-minimal, and ghost free, coupling between the gauge field and the fermionic one from which we obtain, perturbatively, terms with higher order derivatives as quantum corrections to the photon effective action…
We present a construction of fermionic operators in 3+1 dimensions in terms of bosonic fields in the framework of $QED_4$. The basic bosonic variables are the electric fields $E_i$ and their conjugate momenta $A_i$. Our construction…
In this monograph we develop magnetic pseudodifferential theory for operator-valued and equivariant operator-valued functions and distributions from first principles. These have found plentiful applications in mathematical physics,…
We present a systematic method to expand in components four dimensional superconformal multiplets. The results cover all possible $\mathcal{N} = 1$ multiplets and some cases of interest for $\mathcal{N} = 2$. As an application of the…
We introduce the Hardy spaces $\mathcal{H}^{p}_{FIO}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ for Fourier integral operators for $0<p<1$, thereby extending earlier constructions for $1\leq p\leq \infty$. We then establish various properties of these spaces,…
We present a Lagrangian formulation for 4d integer-spin relativistic fields in the 5d space spanned by two conjugate Weyl spinors and a Lorentz-invariant proper-time coordinate. We construct a manifestly Poincare-invariant free classical…
In this paper, we obtain a Carleman estimate for the higher order partial differential operator. In the process of establishing this estimate, we developed a new method, which is called the back-propagation method (the BPM, for short). This…
Differintegral methods, currently exploited in calculus, provide a fairly unexhausted source of tools to be applied to a wide class of problems involving the theory of special functions and not only. The use of integral transforms of Borel…
In this paper we present a recurrent relation for counting meaningful compositions of the higher-order differential operations on the space $R^{n}$ (n=3,4,...) and extract the non-trivial compositions of order higher than two.
