The fractional supersymmetry in the case of the non-relativistic motion of one anyon with fractional spin is realized. Thus the associated Hamiltonian is discussed.
The (group and spin space) matrix Hamiltonian describing the dynamics of a nonrelativistic spin 1/2 particle moving in a static, but spatially dependent, non-Abelian magnetic field in two spatial dimensions is shown to take the form of an…
We demonstrate that a triangular optical lattice of two atomic species, bosonic or fermionic, can be employed to generate a variety of novel spin-1/2 Hamiltonians. These include effective three-spin interactions resulting from the…

The spin 3/2 fermion models with contact interactions have a {\it generic} SO(5) symmetry without any fine-tuning of parameters. Its physical consequences are discussed in both the continuum and lattice models. A Monte-Carlo algorithm free…

We address the issue of consistent interactions for off-shell fermion fields of arbitrary spin. These interactions play a crucial role in the quantum hadrodynamical description of high-spin baryon resonances in hadronic processes. The…
We study spin-1/2 fermions in spin dependent potentials under the \emph{spin model approximation}, in which interatomic collisions that change the total occupation of single-particle modes are ignored. The spin model approximation maps the…
We point out that the new interaction of spinning particles with the torsion tensor, discussed recently, is odd under charge conjugation and time reversal. This explains rather unexpected symmetry properties of the induced effective…
We study attractive fermions in an optical lattice superimposed by a trapping potential, such that fermions may form bosonic molecules. We map the model onto nonlinear field equations depending on the Nambu-Gor'kov propagator. The resulting…
There is no indication so far on the spin of dark matter particles. We consider the possibility in this work that a spin-3/2 particle acts as dark matter. Employing the approach of effective field theory, we list all possible 4-fermion…
Massive higher spin fields are notoriously difficult to introduce interactions when they are described by symmetric (spin)-tensors. An alternative approach is to use chiral description that does not have unphysical longitudinal modes. For…
The fermion representation for S = 1/2 spins is generalized to spins with arbitrary magnitudes. The symmetry properties of the representation is analyzed where we find that the particle-hole symmetry in the spinon Hilbert space of S =1/2…
Jordan-Wigner-type transformations connecting the spin-3/2 operators and two kinds of fermions are derived. A general condition of fermionizability of spins is obtained and a theorem establishing connection between half integer spins and…
In this paper, we continue our investigation of gravitational interactions for massive higher spins, extending our recent work on massive spin 5/2 to massive spin 3, including its massless and partially massless limits. To construct the…
We propose that maximal depth, partially massless, higher spin excitations can mediate charged matter interactions in a de Sitter universe. The proposal is motivated by similarities between these theories and their traditional Maxwell…
The helicity flip of a spin-1/2 Dirac fermion interacting with a torsion- field endowed with a pseudo-tensorial extension is analysed. Taking the torsion to be represented by a Kalb-Ramond field, we show that there is a finite amplitude for…
