We construct quantum flux operators with respect to the Poincar\'e symmetry in the massless Dirac theory at future null infinity. An anomalous helicity flux operator emerges from the commutator of the superrotation generators. The helicity…
We show that the helicity flux density is distinguished from magnetic helicity by analysing Hopf solitons. The electromagnetic (EM) helicity flux and the magnetic helicity are Chern-Simons terms at different hypersurfaces. We find the…
We construct Carrollian higher spin field theories by reducing the bosonic Fronsdal theories in flat spacetime to future null infinity. We extend the Poincar\'e fluxes to quantum flux operators which generate Carrollian diffeomorphism,…
We present a study of the properties of the transversal "spin angular momentum" and "orbital angular momentum" operators. We show that the "spin angular momentum" operators are generators of spatial translations which depend on helicity and…

In this article, we extend the %Weyl-van der Waerden spinor technique for calculating helicity amplitudes to general massive fields of half-integer spins. We find that the little group generators can be represented as first-order…
We identify momentum/helicity probability amplitudes for the photon and find their relativistic transformation properties. We also find their behaviour under space inversion and time reversal. The discussion begins with a review of the…
Beltrami fields occur as stationary solutions of the Euler equations of fluid flow and as force free magnetic fields in magnetohydrodynamics. In this paper we discuss the role of Beltrami fields when considered as operators acting on a…
Studies of scattering amplitudes for electric and magnetic charges have identified previously overlooked multiparticle representations of the Poincar\'e group in four dimensions. Such representations associate nontrivial quantum numbers…
The helicity flux density is a novel quantity which characterizes the angle-dependence of the helicity of radiative gravitons and it may be tested by gravitational wave experiments in the future. We derive a quadrupole formula for the…
We establish a simple formula for the minimal dimension of operators leading to any helicity amplitude. It eases the systematic enumeration of independent operators from the construction of massless non-factorizable on-shell amplitudes.…
Motivated by the desire to construct meson-meson operators of definite relative momentum in order to study resonances in lattice QCD, we present a set of single-meson interpolating fields at non-zero momentum that respect the reduced…
The Hilbert space of loop quantum gravity is usually described in terms of cylindrical functionals of the gauge connection, the electric fluxes acting as non-commuting derivation operators. It has long been believed that this…
Helicity is a quadratic invariant of the Euler equation in three dimensions. As the energy, when present helicity cascades to smaller scales where it dissipates. However, the role played by helicity in the energy cascade is still unclear.…
We define a Hermitian phase operator for zero mass spin one particles (photons) by taking account polarization. The Hilbert space includes the positive helicity states and negative helicity states with opposite circular polarization. We…
Assuming trivial action of Euclidean translations of the little group, we derive a simple correspondence between massless field representations transforming under the full generalized even dimensional Lorentz group, and highest weight…
We give an explicit formula, as a formal differential operator, for quantum microformal morphisms of (super)manifolds that we introduced earlier. Such quantum microformal morphisms are essentially oscillatory integral operators or Fourier…
We revisit the construction of the Hilbert space of non-relativistic particles moving in three spatial dimensions. This is given by the space of sections of a line bundle that can in general be topologically non-trivial. Such bundles are…
Einstein's photo-electric effect allows us to regard electromagnetic waves as massless particles. Then, how is the photon helicity translated into the electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to the direction of propagation? This is an…
We construct the covariant, spinor sets of relativistic wave equations for a massless field on the basis of the two copies of the R-deformed Heisenberg algebra. For the finite-dimensional representations of the algebra they give a universal…
