We present new off-shell formulations for the massive superspin-3/2 multiplet. In the massless limit, they reduce respectively to the old minimal (n=-1/3) and non-minimal ($n\neq -1/3, 0$) linearized formulations for 4D N=1 supergravity.…
We investigate a quantum non-relativistic system describing the interaction of two particles with spin 1/2 and spin 0, respectively. Assuming that the Hamiltonian is rotationally invariant and parity conserving we identify all such systems…
