We study gauge and gravitational anomalies of fermions and 2-form fields on eight-dimensional spin manifolds. Possible global gauge anomalies are classified by spin bordism groups $\Omega^{\text{spin}}_9(BG)$ which we determine by spectral…
We systematically analyze all possible supersymmetry multiplets that include the supersymmetry current and the energy-momentum tensor in various dimensions, focusing on N=1 in four dimensions. The most general such multiplet is the…
We describe basic types of free fields (1) neutral scalar bosons; (2) massive vector bosons; (3) massless vector bosons; (4) charged scalar bosons; (5) Dirac fermions; (6) Majorana fermions. We also consider free field perturbed by a linear…
In the present discussion, we have studied the Z2-grading of quaternion algebra (H). We have made an attempt to extend the quaternion Lie algebra to the graded Lie algebra by using the matrix representations of quaternion units. The…
A composite model of the standard model particles was recently derived using the Dirac Lagrangian on a spacetime where time does not advance along the worldlines of fundamental dust particles, called an 'internal spacetime'. The aim of…
We made in this paper a brief analysis of the following statistics: Intermediate Statistics, Parastatistics, Fractionary Statistics and Gentileonic Statistics that predict the existence of particles which are different from bosons, fermions…
We consider a scenario in which the discrete weak symmetry between quarks and leptons is extended to the weak force by introducing exotic partners. We conjecture that there exists a hidden discrete symmetry $\tilde{P}$, defining a $Z_2$…
A functional integral approach is developed to discuss the bosonisation of the massive Thirring and the massive Schwinger models in arbitrary D-dimensions. It is found that these models, to {\it all} orders in the inverse fermi mass,…
Following Kachru, Kumar and Silverstein, we construct a set of non-supersymmetric Type II string models which have equal numbers of bosons and fermions at each mass level. The models are asymmetric {\bf Z}_2 \otimes {\bf Z}_2^{\prime}…
The su(2)-algebraic many-fermion model is formulated so as to be able to get the unified understanding of the structures of three simple models: the single-level pairing, the isoscalar proton-neutron pairing and the two-level Lipkin model.…
We conjecture how the particle content of the standard model can emerge starting with a supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model in 1+1 dimensions (d = 2) with three real boson and fermion fields. Considering SU(3) transformations, the lagrangian…
Given an associative ring of $Z_2^n$-graded operators, the number of inequivalent brackets of Lie-type which are compatible with the grading and satisfy graded Jacobi identities is $b_n= n+\lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$. This follows from the…
We use the superspace formulation of supergravity in eleven and ten dimensions to compute fermion couplings on the M2-brane and on D$p$-branes. In this formulation fermionic couplings arise naturally from the $\theta$-expansion of the…
We assess whether a confined Wigner molecule constituted by $2N$ fermions behaves as $N$ bosons or $2N$ fermions. Following the work by C. K. Law [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{71}, 034306 (2005)] and Chudzicki et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{104},…
We discuss an isomorphism between the possible anomalies of $(d+1)$-dimensional quantum field theories with $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ unitary global symmetry, and those of $d$-dimensional quantum field theories with time-reversal symmetry…
We consider the quantum theory of the Lorentzian fermionic differential forms and the corresponding bi-spinor quantum fields, which are the expansion coefficients of the forms in the bi-spinor basis of Becher and Joos [7]. The canonical…
It is shown that a chiral SU(2) model can break Lorentz symmetry spontaneously at the Lagrangian level when gauge bosons become massive. This model seems to propose the principles and conceptual foundations leading to a unified picture of…
Poisson superalgebras are known as a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded vector space with two operations, an associative supercommutative multiplication and a super bracket tied up by the super Leibniz relation. We show that we can consider a single…
The standard forms of supersymmetry and supergravity are inextricably wedded to Lorentz invariance. Here a Lorentz-violating form of supergravity is proposed. The superpartners have exotic properties that are not possible in a theory with…
We suggest a simple grand unified theory where the fifth dimensional coordinate is compactified on an $S_1/(Z_2 \times Z_2')$ orbifold. This model is based on the supersymmetric flipped $SU(5) \times U(1)$ grand unified theory, which can…
