In this paper, we investigate gravitational interactions of massive fields with arbitrary integer and half-integer spin, trying to construct a vertex that contains both standard minimal and non-minimal interaction terms necessary to make…
We recalculate the gluon Regge trajectory in next-to-leading order to clarify a discrepancy between two results in the literature on the constant part. We confirm the result obtained by Fadin et al.~\cite{FFK}. The effects on the anomalous…

We investigate the polarized gluon distribution \Delta g(x) by a global analysis of current DIS data and the \pi^0 data from RHIC-Spin experiments. The \pi^0 data provide a strong constraint on \Delta g(x), so that its uncertainty is…
The special case of 4D string-like theory proposed early is investigated. Regge trajectories in the developed model are non-linear for small masses and the values of spin and have the different asymptotical slopes $\alpha_p$. The value…
Charge and spin response in the planar $t-J$ model at finite temperatures are investigated numerically, in the regime corresponding to cuprates at intermediate doping. We show that the local spin correlation function is $T$-independent,…
Recent results in polarized DIS are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on new measurements of transverse and longitudinal asymmetries, on the tests of the spin sum rules and on the analysis of the spin structure function $g_1$ in…
How do the quark and gluon share the nucleon momentum? How does the nucleon spin distribute among its constituents? What means the quark and gluon momentum, spin and orbital angular momentum? These problems are analyzed and a solution is…
This is a late answer to question #79 by R.I. Khrapko, "Does plane wave not carry a spin?," Am. J. Phys. /69/, 405 (2001), and a complement (on gauge invariance, massive spin 1 and 1/2, and massless spin 2 fields) to the paper by H.C.…
We present a measurement of the deuteron spin-dependent structure function g1d based on the data collected by the COMPASS experiment at CERN during the years 2002-2004. The data provide an accurate evaluation for Gamma_1^d, the first moment…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of a U(1) symmetry in interacting systems leads to superfluidity of a corresponding conserved charge. We generalize the superfluidity to systems with U(1) symmetries acting on both matter fields and 2D spatial…
The experiment E155 at SLAC measured the spin structure functions g_1 and g_2 of the proton and deuteron. The experiment used deep inelastic scattering of 48.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on polarized solid ^{15}NH_3 and…
Following the recent studies of the trickiness in spin and orbital angular momentum of the vector gauge fields, we perform here a parallel analysis for the tensor gauge field, which has certain relation to gravitation. Similarly to the…
Recent interest in orbital angular momentum has led to a rapid expansion of research on spin-orbit coupling effects in solids, while also highlighting significant technical challenges. The breaking of rotational symmetry renders the orbital…
We discuss the problem of constructing operators of arbitrary continuum angular momentum on a spatial lattice. We illustrate one simple approach and estimate the lightest J=4 glueball mass in the D=2+1 SU(2) gauge theory.
Spin physics had its beginnings in the famous experiments of Stern and Gerlach, which eventually resulted in the postulation of spin by Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck. The Stern-Gerlach experiment told us that the $g$-value of the electron was 2,…
Definitions of orbital angular momentum based on Wigner distributions are used as a framework to discuss the connection between the Ji definition of the quark orbital angular momentum and that of Jaffe and Manohar.We find that the…

Glueballs are particles whose valence degrees of freedom are gluons and therefore in their description the gauge field plays a dominant role. We review recent results in the physics of glueballs with the aim set on phenomenology and discuss…
