We consider the polar form of the spinor field equation in an n-dimensional space-time, studying the way in which the space-time dimension influences the number of the independent field equations and the number of the degrees of freedom of…

We start with the consideration of the loop effects for light fields with non-zero mass in the expanding Poincar\'e patch of de Sitter space-time. We derive the Dyson-Schwinger equation, which sums up the leading infrared (growing with…

We study the massless minimally coupled scalar field on a two--dimensional de Sitter space-time in the setting of axiomatic quantum field theory. We construct the invariant Wightman distribution obtained as the renormalized zero--mass limit…

We revisit the propagation of classical scalar fields in a spacetime which is asymptotically anti-de Sitter. The lack of global hyperbolicity of the underlying background gives rise to an ambiguity in the dynamical evolution of solutions of…

In his book Mickelsson notices that the infinite-dimensional Grassmannian manifold of Segal and Wilson admits a Spin^c structure and after this he naturally considers the problem of defining a Dirac operator on it. Mickelsson gives a…

We present and enhance our previous statements (arXiv:0907.4736) on the non-canonical interrelations between the solutions to the free Dirac equation (DE) and the Klein-Gordon equation (KGE). We demonstrate that all the solutions to the DE…

Using representation theory, we compute the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the universal covering group of $SL_2(\mathbb R)$, exhibiting it as the generator of $KK^1(\mathbb C, \mathfrak A)$, where $\mathfrak A$ is the reduced…

We employ the polar decomposition of the Dirac field to describe it as an effective spinorial fluid. We then construct a $(1+1+2)$ covariant formalism for the Dirac field that avoids the introduction of tetrad fields and Clifford matrices.…

The Klein-Gordon and Dirac equation for a massive charged field in a uniform electric field has a symmetry of two-dimensional global de Sitter (dS) and anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. In the in-out formalism the mean numbers of spinors…

After recalling Snyder's idea of using vector fields over a smooth manifold as `coordinates on a noncommutative space', we discuss a two dimensional toy-model whose `dual' noncommutative coordinates form a Lie algebra: this is the well…
