Spinner mixtures consisting of both clockwise and counterclockwise self-spinning particles are often expected to phase separate. However, we demonstrate that such a demixing is absent for dimer (or rod-like) spinners. These particles always…

We construct, for the first time, an off-shell supersymmetric continuous spin gauge theory in 4-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, in both constrained and unconstrained Lagrangian formulations. As an extension to the on-shell description [1],…
We use the solutions to the recursion relations for double-off-shell fermion currents to compute helicity amplitudes for $n$-photon scattering and electron-positron annihilation to photons in the massless limit of QED. The form of these…
A simple collinearity argument implies that the massless particle three-point function of helicities $h_1, h_2, h_3$ with corresponding real-valued four-momenta $k_1, k_2, k_3$ taken as all incoming or all outgoing (i.e., $k_1 +k_2…
