Counting the degrees of freedom of the massless Rarita-Schwinger theory is revisited using Behrends-Fronsdal projectors. The identification of the gauge invariant part of the vector-spinor is thus straightforward, consisting of spins 1/2…
Starting from a nonlinear isospinor-spinor field equation, generalized three-particle Bargmann-Wigner equations are derived. In the strong-coupling limit, a special class of spin 1/2 bound-states are calculated. These solutions which are…
Lagrangian of a massive particle with spin 3/2 is considered in the Rarita-Schwinger formalism. We discuss implications of the contact- and the gauge-transformation on the physical content of free and interacting theories. It is shown that…
Considering synchronous spin-isospin rotation as a collective motion a simplified scheme of the nucleon and delta isobar description is formulated.
The quaternion Dirac equation in presence of generalized electromagnetic field has been discussed in terms of two gauge potentials of dyons. Accordingly, the supersymmetry has been established consistently and thereafter the one, two and…
The relativistic interacting quark-diquark model of baryons, recently developed, is here extended to introduce a spin-isospin transition interaction into the mass operator. The refined version of the model is used to calculate the non…
We derive the general lagrangian and propagator for a vector-spinor field in $d$-dimensions and show that the physical observables are invariant under the so-called point transformation symmetry. Until now the symmetry has not been…
In dimensions larger than 3 a modified field strength for Rarita-Schwinger type fields is constructed whose components are not constrained by the field equations. In supergravity theories the result provides a modified (supercovariant)…
A generalization of the Dirac field equation in three-dimensional Minkowski space-time to the case of the $\bar{SL}(3,R)$ $\subset$ $\bar{SA}(3,R)$ symmetry is considered. Constraints that ensure a correct physical interpretation of the…
In this paper we deal with Rarita-Schwinger type operators on spheres and real projective space. First we define the spherical Rarita-Schwinger type operators and construct their fundamental solutions. Then we establish that the projection…
A unification of Klein--Gordon, Dirac, Maxwell, Rarita--Schwinger and Einstein equations exact solutions (for the massless fields cases) is presented. The method is based on writing all of the relevant dynamical fields in terms of products…
I suggest wave equations for the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and pseudovector fields with different masses for spin zero and one states. Tensor, matrix, and quaternion formulations of fields with two mass and spin states are considered.…
This paper is a mixture of expository material and current research material. Among new results are examples of generalised harmonic spinors and their gauged version, the generalised Seiberg-Witten equations.
We study the 7x7 Hagen-Hurley equations describing spin 1 particles. We split these equations, in the interacting case, into two Dirac equations with non-standard solutions. It is argued that these solutions describe decay of a virtual W…
We study the possible covariant Lagrangians that describe the propagation of pure spin-3/2 particles. We show that, apart from the well-known Rarita-Schwinger Lagrangian, there is another possibility where the field is described by a…
Generalizing the linearisation procedure used by Dirac and later by L\'evy-Leblond, we derive the first-order non-relativistic wave equations for particles of spin 1 and spin 3/2 starting from the Schrodinger equation.
We consider the general framework of perturbative quantum field theory for the pure Yang-Mills model developped in [10] and consider the coupling with spin 3/2 particles. We will derive the most general form of the interaction with pure…
We propose a relativistic Jeff=3/2 semimetal with 4d1 or 5d1 electrons on a cubic lattice when the strong spin-orbital coupling takes over the Hunds' coupling. A relativistic spinor with spin 3/2 is historically called Rarita-Schwinger…
We study the phase diagram of coupled spin-1/2 chains with bilinear and (chiral) three-spin exchange interactions in a magnetic field. The model is soluble on a one-parametric line in the space of coupling constants connecting the limiting…
The spin-3/2 elementary particle, known as Rarita-Schwinger (RS) fermion, is described by a vector-spinor field {\psi}_{{\mu}{\alpha}}, whose number of components is larger than its independent degrees of freedom (DOF). Thus the RS…
