We propose in this paper a quantization scheme for real Klein-Gordon field in de Sitter spacetime. Our scheme is generally covariant with the help of vierbein, which is necessary usually for spinor field in curved spacetime. We first…

We provide Wilsonian proof for renormalizability of four-dimensional quantum field theories with ${\cal N}=1/2$ supersymmetry. We argue that the non-hermiticity inherent to these theories permits assigning noncanonical scaling dimension…

Using results on the mass gap in the sine-Gordon model combined with the exact amplitudes in the bosonized representation of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain and one-loop renormalization group, we derive a quantitative expression for the gap…

Requiring covariance of Maxwell's equations without {\it a priori} imposing charge invariance allows for both spin-1 and spin-1/2 transformations of the complete Maxwell field and current. The spin-1/2 case yields new transformation rules,…

General topologically invariant microscopical expressions for quantum numbers of particle-like solitons ("skyrmions") are derived for a class of (2+1)D models. Skyrmions are either half-integer spin fermions with odd electric charge or…

Relativistic massive bosons with spin one are considered in several quantization schemes. In all of them the system is shown described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and helicity operator. Constructively we show that in all of the…
