Spinor fields depending on tensor fields and other spinor fields are considered. The concept of extended spinor fields is introduced and the theory of differentiation for such fields is developed.
This work has as the main aim to explore the nature of the fermionic fields, through a classification of spinor fields about physical space of interest, such as the bulk and the compactified space $S^7$ from the supergravity theories. This…
A fundamental action, representing a mass dimension-transmuting operator between Dirac and ELKO spinor fields, is performed on the Dirac Lagrangian, in order to lead it into the ELKO Lagrangian. Such a dynamical transformation can be seen…
In this paper, near-miss identities for the number of representations of some integral ternary quadratic forms with congruence conditions are found and proven. The genus and spinor genus of the corresponding lattice cosets are then…
In this article, we extend the %Weyl-van der Waerden spinor technique for calculating helicity amplitudes to general massive fields of half-integer spins. We find that the little group generators can be represented as first-order…
The transition metal spinel MgTi$_2$O$_4$ undergoes a metal-insulator transition on cooling below $T_{M-I} = 260$ K. A sharp reduction of the magnetic susceptibility below $T_{M-I}$ suggests the onset of a magnetic singlet state. Using…
As previously shown, the special relativistic dynamical equation of the Lorentz force type can be regarded as a consequence of a succession of space-time dependent infinitesimal Lorentz boosts and rotations. This insight indicate that the…
In this paper, we consider the theory of ELKO written in their polar form, in which the spinorial components are converted into products of a real module times a complex unitary phase while the covariance under spin transformations is still…
This article will provide the reader with a short introduction to dark spinors, which are ELKO spinors, eingenspinors of the charge conjugation operator, applied to dark matter and dark energy.
This editorial presents the quantum field theoretic ambiance in which Elko and mass dimension one fermions come to exist. This may serve not only to introduce Elko, and the associated quantum field, but it may also open a door to a new…
Spinor fields are considered in a generally covariant environment where they can be written in the polar form. The polar form is the one in which spinorial fields are expressed as a module times the exponential of a complex pseudo-phase,…
A review about spinor fields is presented, constructing a outlook through the last century. Spinor was explored in many contexts more and more in the last decades. Besides this, more papers about this issue has been produced in the last…
World spinors are objects that transform w.r.t. double covering group $\bar{Diff}(4,R)$ of the Group of General Coordinate Transformations. The basic mathematical results and the corresponding physical interpretation concerning these,…
These notes are based on my lectures given at $\text{ST}^4$ 2025 held at IISER Bhopal. We study the application of spinor and twistor methods to three dimensional conformal field theories in these notes. They are divided into three parts…
This paper reviews how a two-state, spin-one-half system transforms under rotations. It then uses that knowledge to explain how momentum-zero, spin-one-half annihilation and creation operators transform under rotations. The paper then…
The quantum field operator for spin-half Elko describes a massive self-interacting fermionic dark matter candidate of mass dimension one. It has been shown that the theory has a built-in violation of the Lorentz symmetry and a well-defined…
