"The Spin Foams for People Without the 3d/4d Imagination" could be an alternative title of our work. We derive spin foams from operator spin network diagrams} we introduce. Our diagrams are the spin network analogy of the Feynman diagrams.…
A local transformation from fermionic operators to spin matrices is proposed and studied in this work. For this purpose, a system of fermions on a lattice is considered and one applies the scheme to replace the fermionic variables with spin…
We give a brief overview of the kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formulism. The chiral and spin kinetic equations can be derived from equations for Wigner functions. A general Wigner function has 16 components which…
Feynman diagrams are the foremost tool in the perturbative study of quantum field theory. In gauge theories, the full potential of this tool is revealed when it is combined with the Slavanov-Taylor identities associated with the local gauge…
We study quantum properties of supersymmetric N=1 and N=4 extensions of the four dimensional bosonic Chiral Higher Spin Gravities (HiSGRAs). We discuss the spectra, the classical actions and define the Feynman rules in N=1 and N=4…
For the massless N=1supersymmetric electrodynamics, regularized by higher derivatives, the Feynman diagrams, which define the divergent part of the two-point Green function and can not be found from Schwinger-Dyson equations and Ward…
The E. Cartan's equations defining "simple" spinors (renamed "pure" by C. Chevalley) are interpreted as equations of motions for fermion multiplets in momentum spaces which, in a constructive approach based bilinearly on those spinors,…
I present the two-loop self-energy functions and pole masses for fermions in an arbitrary renormalizable field theory, in the approximation that vector bosons are treated as massless. The calculations are done simultaneously in the…
The covariant description of massless particles of arbitrary spin typically employs symmetric tensors of rank $s$ and rests on a local symmetry carried by symmetric tensor parameters of rank $s-1$, suitably generalizing the $U(1)$…
We investigate the semiclassical dynamics of massless Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. By generalizing the $\alpha$ matrices to the spin-$S$ matrices and doing a certain scaling, we…
We introduce a novel compositional description of Feynman diagrams, with well-defined categorical semantics as morphisms in a dagger-compact category. Our chosen setting is suitable for infinite-dimensional diagrammatic reasoning,…
We investigate Feynman graphs and their Feynman rules from the viewpoint of graph complexes. We focus on graph homology and on the appearance of cubical complexes when either reducing internal edges or when removing them by putting them on…
The effective Hamiltonians for chiral supersymmetric gauge theories at small spatial volume are generalizations of the Hamiltonians describing the motion of a scalar or a spinor particle in a field of Dirac monopoles (we are dealing in fact…
We develop a frame and dyad gauge-independent formalism for the calculus of variations of functionals involving spinorial objects. As part of this formalism we define a modified variation operator which absorbs frame and spin dyad gauge…
We report the findings of our extensive study of the spectra of flavoured mesons in lattice gauge theories with symplectic gauge group and fermion matter content treated in the quenched approximation. For the $Sp(4)$, $Sp(6)$, and $Sp(8)$…
We consider spinors on the total space of a Kaluza-Klein model with fuzzy sphere fibre and geometrically realised Dirac operator on the product. We show that a single massless spinor on the product appears on spacetime as multiplets of…
The Ashtekar-Barbero-Immirzi formulation of General Relativity is extended to include spinor matter fields. Our formulation applies to generic values of the Immirzi parameter and reduces to the Ashtekar-Romano-Tate approach when the Immirzi…
The Szymanzik improvement program for gauge theories is most commonly implemented using forward finite difference corrections to the Wilson action. Central symmetric schemes naively applied, suffer from a doubling of degrees of freedom,…
We show that gauge invariant composites in the fermionic realization of $SU(N)_1$ conformal field theory explicitly exhibit the holomorphic factorization of the corresponding WZW primaries. In the $SU(2)_1$ case we show that the holomorphic…
Lagrangians for massive, unconstrained, higher-spin bosons and fermions are proposed. The idea is to modify the geometric, gauge invariant Lagrangians describing the corresponding massless theories by the addition of suitable quadratic…
