We prove the spin-statistics theorem for massive particles obeying braid group statistics in three-dimensional Minkowski space. We start from first principles of local relativistic quantum theory. The only assumption is a gap in the mass…
Spinorial methods have proven to be a powerful tool to study geometric properties of spin manifolds. Our aim is to continue the spinorial study of manifolds that are not necessarily spin. We introduce and study the notion of $G$-invariance…
This paper upbuilds the theoretical framework of orbit braids in $M\times I$ by making use of the orbit configuration space $F_G(M,n)$, which enriches the theory of ordinary braids, where $M$ is a connected topological manifold of dimension…
We derive the braid relations of the charged anyons interacting with a magnetic field on Riemann surfaces. The braid relations are used to calculate the quasiparticle's spin in the fractional quantum Hall states on Riemann surfaces. The…
It is shown that particles with braid group statistics (Plektons) in three-dimensional space-time cannot be free, in a quite elementary sense: They must exhibit elastic two-particle scattering into every solid angle, and at every energy.…
Conventional quantum field theory is a method for studying structureless elementary particles. Non-elementary particles, on the other hand, are those with internal structure or particles that are made up of elementary constituents like the…
The 2(2s+1)-component relativistic basis spinors for the arbitrary spin particles are established in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces, where s=0,1 / 2,1, 3 / 2, 2, ... . These spinors for integral- and half-integral spins are…
The Standard Model of particle physics provides very accurate predictions of phenomena occurring at the sub-atomic level, but the reason for the choice of symmetry group and the large number of particles considered elementary, is still…
In this paper, we focus on the characterization of Lie algebras of fermionic, bosonic and parastatistic operators of spin particles. We provide a method to construct a Lie group structure for the quantum spin particles. We show the…
For each integer $d$ at least two, we construct non-spin closed oriented flat manifolds with holonomy group $\mathbb Z_2^d$ and with the property that all of their finite proper covers have a spin structure. Moreover, all such covers have…
We study M-theory on two classes of manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy that are developing an isolated conical singularity. We construct explicitly a new class of Spin(7) manifolds and analyse in detail the topology of the corresponding…
We construct a braided analogue of the quantum permutation group and show that it is the universal braided compact quantum group acting on a finite space in the category of $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$-$\textrm{C}^*$-algebras with a twisted…
We construct some braided quantum groups over the circle group. These are analogous to the free orthogonal quantum groups and generalise the braided quantum SU(2) groups for complex deformation parameter. We describe their irreducible…
A general method is described for finding algebraic expressions for matrix elements of any one- and two-particle operator for an arbitrary number of subshells in an atomic configuration, requiring neither coefficients of fractional…
There are various statements in the physics literature about the stratification of quantum states, for example into orbits of a unitary group, and about generalized differentiable structures on it. Our aim is to clarify and make precise…
Spinor structure and internal symmetries are considered within one theoretical framework based on the generalized spin and abstract Hilbert space. Complex momentum is understood as a generating kernel of the underlying spinor structure. It…
Extending the methods from our previous work on quantum knots and quantum graphs, we describe a general procedure for quantizing a large class of mathematical structures which includes, for example, knots, graphs, groups, algebraic…
Indistinguishability of particles is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics. For all elementary and quasiparticles observed to date - including fermions, bosons, and Abelian anyons - this principle guarantees that the braiding of…
Extending our prior investigation, we give a new off-shell construction of theories of spinning particles propagating in Minkowski spaces with arbitrary $N$-extended supersymmetry on the world-line. The basis of the new off-shell…
We introduce and study a class of anyon models that are a natural generalization of Ising anyons and Majorana fermion zero modes. These models combine an Ising anyon sector with a sector associated with $SO(m)_2$ Chern-Simons theory. We…
