In this work we revisit the problem of studying spin-2 fluctuations around a class of solutions in massive type IIA that is given by a warped $\text{AdS}_3 \times \text{S}^2 \times \text{T}^4 \times \mathcal{I}_{\rho}$ and with…
We study configurations consisting of a gravitating spinor field $\psi$ with a nonlinearity of the type $\lambda\left(\bar\psi\psi\right)^2$. To ensure spherical symmetry of the configurations, we use two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fields forming a…
Boundary conditions for the Maxwell and Dirac fields at material surfaces are widely-used and physically well-motivated, but do not appear to have been generalised to deal with higher spin fields. As a result there is no clear prescription…

For the tensor field of rank-2 there are two unitary irreducible representation (UIR) in de Sitter (dS) space denoted by $\Pi^{\pm}_{2,2}$ and $\Pi^{\pm}_{2,1}$ [1]. In the flat limit only the $\Pi^{\pm}_{2,2}$ coincides to the UIR of…
Spinor-valued one-forms (Rarita-Schwinger fields) are normally used in the context of supergravity, where they describe spin 3/2 particles (gravitinos). Indeed, when decomposed into irreducible representations of the Lorentz group such a…
