We propose a simple unfolded description of free massive higher spin particles in anti-de-Sitter spacetime. While our unfolded equation of motion has the standard form of a covariant constancy condition, our formulation differs from the…
We investigate the structure of equations of motion and lagrangian constraints in a general theory of massive spin 2 field interacting with external gravity. We demonstrate how consistency with the flat limit can be achieved in a number of…
In this paper, we use a version of the BF formulation of two-dimensional dilaton gravity that allows to define a gauge theory of the two-dimensional Poincar\'e or Maxwell algebras and several of their higher-spin generalisations, both of…
We have recently shown that the space of initial data (covariant phase space) of the relativistic oscillator in Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$ is a homogeneous K\"ahler-Einstein manifold $Z_6$=AdS$_7$/U(1)=U(3,1)/U(3)$\times$U(1). It…
The set of trajectories for massive spinless particles on $AdS_{N+1}$ spacetime is described by the dynamical integrals related to the isometry group SO(2,N). The space of dynamical integrals is mapped one to one to the phase space of the…
Here we obtain alternative descriptions of massive spin-2 particles by an embedding procedure of the Fierz-Pauli equations of motion. All models are free of ghosts at quadratic level although most of them are of higher order in derivatives.…

It is shown that the commonly accepted definition for the Casimir scalar operators of the Poincare group does not satisfy the properties of Casimir invariance when applied to the non-inertial motion of elementary particles while in the…
We consider a particular 4-dimensional generalization of the transition from the Heisenberg to the Schr\"odinger picture. The space-time independent expansion with respect to the unitary irreducible representations of the Lorentz group is…
The concept of elementary particle rests on the idea that it is a physical system with no excited states, so that all possible kinematical states of the particle are just kinematical modifications of any one of them. The way of describing…
This is the first of a series of papers considering symmetry properties of quantum systems over 2D graphs or manifolds, with continuous spins, in the spirit of the Mermin--Wagner theorem. In the model considered here (quantum rotators) the…
We build upon previous investigation of the one-dimensional conformal symmetry of the Friedman-Lema\^ itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology of a free scalar field and make it explicit through a reformulation of the theory at the classical…
We present a new vacuum of the bosonic higher-spin gauge theory in $d+1$ dimensions, which has leftover symmetry of the Poincar\'{e} algebra in $d$ dimensions. Its structure is very simple: the space-time geometry is that of $AdS$, while…
