Weyl 0- and 1-cocycles of canonical dimension 6 in six dimensions, which were computed earlier in ref.\cite{bonorabregolapasti1986}, are recalculated from scratch. The analysis yields five Weyl invariants (0-cocycles), instead of four, and…
We formulate matrix models for strings in ten dimensional pp-wave backgrounds and for particles in eleven dimensional ones. This is done by first characterizing the deformations of ten dimensional {\cal N}=1 SYM which are induced by a…
Quantum simulation of 1D relativistic quantum mechanics has been achieved in well-controlled systems like trapped ions, but properties like spin dynamics and response to external magnetic fields that appear only in higher dimensions remain…
The Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism for Dirac second class constrained systems has been proposed recently as the deformation quantization of Dirac bracket. In this paper, after a brief review of this formalism, it is applied to the case of the…

We construct a Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond superstring model which is invariant under supersymmetric U(1)_V * U(1)_A gauge transformations as well as the super-general coordinate, the super local Lorentz and the super-Weyl transformations on the…
Weyl consistency conditions have been used in unitary relativistic quantum field theory to impose constraints on the renormalization group flow of certain quantities. We classify the Weyl anomalies and their renormalization scheme…
The free massless superparticle is reanalysed, in particular by performing the Gupta-Bleuler quantization, using the first and second class constraints of the model, and obtaining, as a result, the Weyl equation for the spinorial component…
A description of scalar charged particles, based on the Feshbach-Villars formalism, is proposed. Particles are described by an object that is a Wigner function in usual coordinates and momenta and a density matrix in the charge variable. It…

We propose a new variant of the semiclassical quantisation with two independent parameters. The first one is proportional to the Planck constant as usually and the second one is connected with a deviation of the given potential from a very…
A local UV cutoff $\Lambda(x)$ transforming under Weyl rescalings allows to construct Weyl invariant kinetic terms for scalar fields including Wilsonian cutoff functions. First we consider scalar fields in curved space-time with local bare…
The longitudinal response function $R(q,w)$\ of nuclear matter is calculated in a semiclassical quark model. The model has a many- body string-flip potential that confines quarks into hadrons and avoids color van der Waals forces. Molecular…
In this article we present a general class of localized degenerate solutions to the massless Dirac and Weyl equations, which can also describe particles, or systems of particles, with varying energy and spin along their direction of motion.…
It is proposed that strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields in Dirac and Weyl materials could be used as valley and chirality sensitive lenses for beams of Weyl quasiparticles. The study of the (pseudo-)magnetic lenses is performed by using…
Conformally recurrent pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimension n>4 are investigated. The Weyl tensor is represented as a Kulkarni-Nomizu product. If the square of the Weyl tensor is nonzero, a covariantly constant symmetric tensor is…

Weyl theory for Dirac systems with rectangular matrix potentials is non-classical. The corresponding Weyl functions are rectangular matrix functions. Furthermore, they are non-expansive in the upper semi-plane. Inverse problems are treated…
