Recent well-posedness results have identified the Hardy space $L^2_+$ as the natural phase space for continuum Calogero-Moser models, both focusing and defocusing, on the line and on the torus. In this paper, we introduce a symplectic form…
A supersymmetric Lorentz invariant mechanism for superspace deformations is proposed. It is based on an extension of superspace by one $\lambda_{a}$ or several Majorana spinors associated with the Penrose twistor picture. Some examples of…

The Grassmannian model represents harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces by families of shift-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. We impose a natural symmetry condition on the shift-invariant subspaces that corresponds to considering an…

We investigate a global sigma model anomaly in two-dimensional sigma models with Majorana--Weyl fermions coupled to a sigma model field with target space~$G$. The anomaly originates from the nontrivial topology of the space of maps and…
In this paper we continue the study of the path-integral formulation of classical mechanics and in particular we better clarify, with respect to previous papers, the geometrical meaning of the variables entering this formulation. With…
An $SO(9,1)$ invariant formulation of an 11-dimensional supermembrane is presented by combining an $SO(10,1)$ invariant treatment of reparametrization symmetry with an $SO(9,1)$ invariant $\theta_{R} = 0$ gauge of $\kappa$-symmetry. The…
We review the component Lagrangian construction of the supersymmetric higher spin models in three dimensional (3D) Minkowski and anti de Sitter (AdS) spaces. The approach is based on the frame-like gauge invariant formulation, where massive…
We introduce a class of higher-order derivative models in (2,1) space-time dimensions. The models are described by a vector field, and contain a Proca-like mass term which prevents gauge invariance. We use the gauge embedding procedure to…
Conventional descriptions of higher-spin fermionic gauge fields appear in two varieties: the Aragone-Deser-Vasiliev frame-like formulation and the Fang-Fronsdal metric-like formulation. We review, clarify and elaborate on some essential…
