Smooth deformations of a Minkowski type metric in a four-dimensional space-time manifold are considered. Deformations of the basic spin-tensorial fields associated with this metric are calculated and their application to calculating the…
We show explicitly that all partially and strictly massless fields with spins s<=3 in (A)dS have null propagation. Assuming that this property holds also for s>3, we derive the mass-cosmological constant tunings required to yield all higher…
We derive a relativistic-covariant spin operator for massive case directly from space-time symmetry in Minkowski space-time and investigate the physical properties of a derived spin operator. In the derivation we require only two…
We study the representation and visualization of finite-dimensional quantum systems. In a generalized Wigner representation, multi-spin operators can be decomposed into a symmetry-adapted tensor basis and they are mapped to multiple…
We obtain a basis of diagonal free field multi-matrix 2-point correlators in a theory with global symmetry group G. The operators fall into irreducible representations of G. This applies for gauge group U(N) at finite N. For composites made…
Electrically charged solutions breaking half of the supersymmetry in Anti-De Sitter four dimensional N=2 supergravity coupled to vector supermultiplets are constructed. These static black holes live in an asymptotic $AdS_4$ space-time. The…
In d=4 de Sitter space, novel conformally invariant photon-like theories consistently couple to charged matter. We show that these higher spin, maximal depth, partially massless systems enjoy a Maxwellian, "electric-magnetic" duality.
Following the construction of the projection operators on $T^2$ presented by Gopakumar, Headrick and Spradlin, we construct a set of projection operators on the integral noncommutative orbifold $T^2/G (G=Z_N, N=2, 3, 4, 6)$ which correspond…
We introduce a method for computing conformal blocks of operators in arbitrary Lorentz representations in any spacetime dimension, making it possible to apply bootstrap techniques to operators with spin. The key idea is to implement the…
In this work we give an explicit construction for the vertex operators of massless states in the pure spinor superstring in a plane wave background. The construction is based on the observation that the full action can be divided in two…
Bilocal light-ray operators which are Lorentz scalars, vectors or antisymmetric tensors, and which appear in various hard scattering QCD processes, are decomposed into operators of definite twist. These operators are harmonic tensor…
The coherent states associated to the discrete serie representations $D(E_o,s)$ of $SO(3,2)$ are constructed in terms of (spin-)tensor fields on $D=4$ anti-de Sitter space. For $E_o>s+5$ the linear space ${\cal H}_{E_o,s}$ spanned by these…
Spin-dependent quark densities, matrix elements of specific density operators in proton states of definite spin-polarization, indicate that the nucleon may harbor an infinite variety of non-spherical shapes. We show that these matrix…
In recent development of double field theory, as for the description of the massless sector of closed strings, the spacetime dimension is formally doubled, i.e. from D to D+D, and the T-duality is realized manifestly as a global O(D,D)…
According to one of many equivalent definitions of twistors a (null) twistor is a null geodesic in Minkowski spacetime. Null geodesics can intersect at points (events). The idea of Penrose was to think of a spacetime point as a derived…
We present a covariant quantization of the free "massive" spin-3/2 fields in four-dimensional de Sitter space-time based on analyticity in the complexified pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The field equation is obtained as an eigenvalue equation…
