We describe a new realization of supersymmetry, called scalar supersymmetry, acting in spaces of differential forms (bi-spinors), where transformation parameters are Lorentz scalars instead of spinors. The realization is related but is not…
Killing spinor identities relate components of equations of motion to each other for supersymmetric backgrounds. The only input required is the field content and the supersymmetry transformations of the fields, as long as an on-shell…
In this paper, we define a new spinor classification that encompasses the recently proposed spin-half bosons with mass dimension three-half. As it will be shown, these particles, which are governed by a first-order equation and consequently…
I show that the classical Toda models built on superalgebras, and obtained from a reduction with respect to an $Sl(2)$ algebra, are "linearly supersymmetrizable" (by adding spin 1/2 fields) if and only if the $Sl(2)$ is the bosonic part of…
A particle which lives in a d-dimensional ordinary and a d-dimensional Grassmann space manifests itself in an ordinary four-dimensional subspace as a spinor, a scalar or a vector with charges. Operators of the Lorentz transformations and…
A 2-toroidal Lie superalgebra is constructed using bosonic fields and a ghost field. The superalgebra contains $osp(1|2n)^{(1)}$ as a distinguished subalgebra and behaves similarly to the toroidal Lie superalgebra of type $B(0, n)$.…
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,…
We consider a four dimensional space-time symmetry which is a non trivial extension of the Poincar\'e algebra, different from supersymmetry and not contradicting {\sl a priori} the well-known no-go theorems. We investigate some field…
Within the scope of a spherically symmetric space-time we study the role of a nonlinear spinor field in the formation of different configurations with spherical symmetries. The presence of the non-diagonal components of energy-momentum…
A Lie superalgebra is attached to any finite-dimensional J-ternary algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3, using a process of semisimplification via tensor categories. Some of the exceptional simple Lie algebras,…
We identify the quantum algebra of position and momentum operators for a quantum system bearing an irreducible representation of the super Poincare algebra in the N>1 and D=4 superspace both in the case where there are not central charges…
The supercommutator algebra of a right alternative superalgebra is a Bol superalgebra. Hom-Bol superalgebras are defined and it is shown that they are closed under even self-morphisms. Any Bol superalgebra along with any even self-morphism…
It is known that every irreducible unitary representation of positive energy of the Poincar\'e group can be realized as a subspace of tensor fields on Minkowski spacetime subjected to suitable partial differential equations. We first…
We compute asymptotic symmetry algebras of conformal gravity. Due to more general boundary conditions allowed in conformal gravity in comparison to those in Einstein gravity, we can classify the corresponding algebras. The highest algebra…
Casimir W-algebras are shown to exist in such a way that the conformal spins of primary(generating) fields coincide with the orders of independent Casimir operators. We show here that this coincidence can be extended further to the case…
In this talk we present a division-algebra classification of the generalized supersymmetries admitting bosonic tensorial central charges. We show that for complex and quaternionic supersymmetries a whole class of compatible division-algebra…
In this work, a DDF-like construction within the pure spinor formalism is presented. Starting with the light-cone massless vertices, the creation/annihilation algebra is derived in a simple manner, enabling a systematic construction of the…
In the superspace $z^M = (x^\mu,\theta_R,\theta_L)$ the global symmetries for $d$ = 10 superparticle model with kinetic terms both for Bose and Fermi variables are shown to form a superalgebra, which includes the Poincar\'e superalgebra as…
The spin-statistics conection is obtained for classical point particles. The connection holds within pseudomechanics, a theory of particle motion that extends classical physics to include anticommuting Grassmann variables, and which…
Because of the isomorphism ${C \kern -0.1em \ell}_{1,3}(\Bbb{C})\cong{C \kern -0.1em \ell}_{2,3}(\Bbb{R})$, it is possible to complexify the spacetime Clifford algebra ${C \kern -0.1em \ell}_{1,3}(\Bbb{R})$ by adding one additional timelike…
