We consider the simplest geometrical particle model associated with light-like curves in (2+1)-dimensions. The action is proportional to the pseudo-arc length of the particle's path. We show that under quantization it yields the…
The Spinning Particle Model for anyon is analysed in the Batalin-Tyutin scheme of quantisation in extended phase space. Here additional degrees of freedom are introduced in the phase space such that all the constraints in the theory are…
A simple Lagrangian is proposed that by the choice of the representation of SU(2), gives rise to field equations for arbitrary spin. In explicit examples it is shown, how the Klein-Gordon, the Dirac, and the Proca equation can be obtained…
A Hamiltonian formulation is given for the gravitational dynamics of two spinning compact bodies to next-to-leading order ($G/c^4$ and $G^2/c^4$) in the spin-orbit interaction. We use a novel approach (valid to linear order in the spins),…

In $D=2+1$ dimensions, elementary particles of a given helicity can be described by local Lagrangians (parity singlets). By means of a "soldering" procedure two opposite helicities can be joined together and give rise to massive spin-$s$…
Recently a new model has been proposed to describe free massive spin-2 particles in $D$ dimensions in terms of a non symmetric rank-2 tensor $e_{\mu\nu}$ and a mixed symmetry tensor $B^{\mu[\alpha\beta]}$. The model is invariant under…
We study "circular net" (discrete orthogonal net) equations for angular data generalized by external spectral parameters. A criterion defining physical regimes of these Hamiltonian equations is the reality of Lagrangian density. There are…
We have discovered two unconstrained forms of free Lagrangian for continuous spin(CS) theory in arbitrary flat spacetime dimension for bosonic case. These Lagrangians, unlike that by Schuster and Toro, do not include delta functions and are…
Recent experimental work has determined that free falling $^{87}$Rb atoms on Earth, with vertically aligned spins, follow geodesics, thus apparently ruling out spin--gravitation interactions. It is showed that while some spinning matter…
We consider the deformation of the Poincar\'e group in 2+1 dimensions into the quantum double of the Lorentz group and construct Lorentz-covariant momentum-space formulations of the irreducible representations describing massive particles…
We consider a (2+1)-dimensional mechanical system with the Lagrangian linear in the torsion of a light-like curve. We give Hamiltonian formulation of this system and show that its mass and spin spectra are defined by one-dimensional…
We compute the partition function for the $N=1$ spinning particle, including pictures and the large Hilbert space, and show that it counts the dimension of the BRST cohomology in two- and four-dimensional target space. We also construct a…
The most general lagrangian describing spin 2 particles in flat spacetime and containing operators up to (mass) dimension 6 is carefully analyzed, determining the precise conditions for it to be invariant under linearized (transverse)…
General topologically invariant microscopical expressions for quantum numbers of particle-like solitons ("skyrmions") are derived for a class of (2+1)D models. Skyrmions are either half-integer spin fermions with odd electric charge or…
A complete, straightforward and natural Lagrangian description is given for the classical non-relativistic dynamics of a particle with colour or internal symmetry degrees of freedom moving in a background Yang-Mills field. This provides a…
The multiplicative Lagrangian and Hamiltonian introduce an additional parameter that, despite its variation, results in identical equations of motion as those derived from the standard Lagrangian. This intriguing property becomes even more…
