It is shown that a subgroup of $SL(2,{\mathbb H})$, denoted $Spin(2,{\mathbb H})$ in this paper, which is defined by two conditions in addition to unit quaternionic determinant, is locally isomorphic to the restricted Lorentz group,…
A unified description of all interactions could be based on a higher-dimensional theory involving only spinor fields. The metric arises as a composite object and the gravitational field equations contain torsion-corrections as compared to…
An extension of the Lorentz group to include generators $\Gamma^\mu$ carrying a space-time index is demonstrated to explicitly construct the Minkowski metric within the internal group space as a consequence of the non-vanishing commutation…
A gauge and diffeomorphism invariant theory in (2+1)-dimensions is presented in both first and second order Lagrangian form as well as in a Hamiltonian form. For gauge group $SO(1,2)$, the theory is shown to describe ordinary Einstein…
Arbitrary spin free massless fermionic fields corresponding to mixed symmetry representations of the \hbox{$SO(d-1)$} compact group and propagating in even $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime are investigated. Free wave equations of…
We consider the operation of contraction of unitary irreducible representations of the de Sitter group $ SO(4,1) $. It is shown that a direct sum of unitary irreducible representations of the Poincar\'{e} group with different signs of the…
We discuss the symmetry aspects of quantum field theory in global four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime linked to $SO(1,4)$ isometries. For the unitary irreducible representations relevant to elementary particles, we obtain explicit…
We explicitly construct the SO(d,d) transformations of Ramond-Ramond field strengths and potentials, along with those of the space-time supersymmetry parameters, the gravitinos and the dilatinos in type-II theories. The results include the…
Spin-one matter fields are relevant both for the description of hadronic states and as potential extensions of the Standard Model. In this work we present a formalism for the description of massive spin-one fields transforming in the…
The Poincar\'e (inhomogeneous Lorentz) group underlies special relativity. In these lectures a consistent formalism is developed allowing an appropriate gauging of the Poincar\'e group. The physical laws are formulated in terms of points,…
We find that Euclidian or Minkowski gravity in d dimensions can be formally expressed as the restriction to a slice of a supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in d+1 dimensions with SO(d+1), SO(d,1) or SO(d-1,2) internal symmetry. We suggest…
In a previous paper, we introduced a new interpretation of matrix models, in which any d-dimensional curved space can be realized in terms of d matrices, and the diffeomorphism and the local Lorentz symmetries are included in the ordinary…
The $D=11$ pure spinor formulation of the superparticle allows a simple realization of covariant quantization, unlike the $D=11$ Brink-Schwarz-like superparticle. We explicitly show the equivalence between the cohomologies of these two…
We formulate new gauge principles for n supersymmetric particles in a worldline formalism with N supersymmetries. The models provide realizations of the more general supersymmetries that are encountered in sectors of S-theory or Matrix…
Spinor description for the curvatures of $D=5$ Yang-Mills, Rarita-Schwinger and gravitational fields is elaborated. Restrictions imposed on the curvature spinors by the dynamical equations and Bianchi identities are analyzed. In the absence…
A spinor theory on a space with linear Lie type noncommutativity among spatial coordinates is presented. The model is based on the Fourier space corresponding to spatial coordinates, as this Fourier space is commutative. When the group is…
We propose a Lorentz-covariant Yang-Mills ``spin-gauge'' theory, where the function valued Pauli matrices play the role of a non-scalar Higgs-field. As symmetry group we choose $SU(2) \times U(1)$ of the 2-spinors describing…
We propose a new kind of coherent state for the general $SO(D+1)$ formulation of loop quantum gravity in the $(1+D)$-dimensional space-time. Instead of Thiemann's coherent state for $SO(D+1)$ gauge theory, our coherent spin-network state is…
In our companion papers, we managed to derive a connection formulation of Lorentzian General Relativity in D+1 dimensions with compact gauge group SO(D+1) such that the connection is Poisson commuting, which implies that Loop Quantum…
There are exactly three finite subgroups of SU(2) that act irreducibly in the spin 1 representation, namely the binary tetrahedral, binary octahedral and binary icosahedral groups. In previous papers I have shown how the binary tetrahedral…
