We revisit the computation of four-point wavefunction coefficients and correlators for external conformally coupled scalars exchanging a particle of generic mass and spin. Much of the phenomenology of cosmological collider physics in the…

We consider spin manifolds with an Einstein metric, either Riemannian or indefinite, for which there exists a Killing spinor. We describe the intrinsic geometry of nondegenerate hypersurfaces in terms of a PDE satisfied by a pair of induced…

A non-Hermitian version of Rashba Hamiltonian has been introduced motivated from the Levy-leblond type linearisation of Schrodinger equation in a Galilean invariant frame-work. The said Hamiltonian is found to be pseudo-Hermitian under…

Motivated by the definition of super-Teichm\"uller spaces, and Penner-Zeitlin's recent extension of this definition to decorated super-Teichm\"uller space, as examples of super Riemann surfaces, we use the super Ptolemy relations to obtain…

We construct, in D=3,4,6 and 10 space-time dimensions, supersymmetric Lagrangians for free massless higher spin fields which belong to reducible representations of the Poincare group.The fermionic part of these models consists of…

We derive basic differential geometric formulae for surfaces in hyperbolic space represented as envelopes of horospheres. The dual notion of parallel hypersurfaces is also studied. The representation is applied to prove existence and…

We review the relation between the "embedding" formalism and spinorial projective space. The latter is more convenient when treating spin (and indispensable for supersymmetry), as it maintains manifest conformal symmetry while using…

A set of two-parameter bi-orthogonal eigen-spinors has been constructed from a deformed pseudo- Hermitian extension of Pauli Hamiltonian and its Hermitian conjugate. The Hamiltonians thus obtained are iso-spectral to the original Pauli…

Part I: The geometric algebra of space is derived by extending the real number system to include three mutually anticommuting square roots of plus one. The resulting geometric algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices,…

In a recent paper, algebraic descriptions for all non-relativistic spins were derived by elementary means directly from the Lie algebra $\specialorthogonalliealgebra{3}$, and a connection between spin and the geometry of Euclidean…

We introduce a notion of twisted pure spinor in order to characterize, in a unified way, all the special Riemannian holonomy groups just as a classical pure spinor characterizes the special K\"ahler holonomy. Motivated by certain curvature…

We define higher spin Killing spinors on Riemannian spin manifolds in arbitrary dimension and study them in detail in dimension three. We prove a rigidity result for 3-dimensional manifolds admitting higher spin Killing spinors and give…

We consider supersymmetry algebras in space-times with arbitrary signature and minimal number of spinor generators. The interrelation between super Poincar\'e and super conformal algebras is elucidated. Minimal super conformal algebras are…

Rosenfeld's geometric approach to spinors is considered, according to which the coordinates of spinors are represented by the coordinates of the plane generators of the maximal dimension of the absolutes of non-Euclidean spaces. As an…

One of us got spins and charges of not only scalars and vectors but also of spinors out of fields, which are antisymmetric tensor fields. Kahler got spins of spinors out of differential forms, which again are antisymmetric tensor fields.…
