In this work, we derive the equations of motion governing the hydrodynamics of spin-F spinor condensates. We pursue a description based on standard physical variables (total density and superfluid velocity), alongside 2F `spin-nodes': unit…

The non-relativistic `Dirac' equation of L\'evy-Leblond is used to describe a spin {\small 1/2} particle interacting with a Chern-Simons gauge field. Static, purely magnetic, self-dual spinor vortices are constructed. The solution can be…
We compute the partition function for the $N=1$ spinning particle, including pictures and the large Hilbert space, and show that it counts the dimension of the BRST cohomology in two- and four-dimensional target space. We also construct a…
