We briefly review models of relativistic particles with spin. Departing from the oldest attempts to describe the spin within the lagrangian framework we pass through various non supersymmetric models. Then the component and superfield…

On the basis of the Wigner unitary representations of the covering group ISL(2,C) of the Poincar\'{e} group, we obtain spin-tensor wave functions of free massive particles with arbitrary spin. The wave functions automatically satisfy the…
A new duality is proposed in four-dimensional flat space, which exchanges between spin and orbital degrees of freedom. This is motivated by a Hodge decomposition of the angular-momentum bivector for massive fields, along which spin and…
It is common practice to describe elementary particles by irreducible unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group. In the same way, multi-particle systems can be described by irreducible unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group.…
We study the longitudinal spin polarization of a relativistic fluid of massive spin-1/2 particles undergoing a boost-invariant expansion in the longitudinal direction and rotating in the transverse plane. We express the polarization vector…
We unearth spacetime structure of massive vector bosons, gravitinos, and gravitons. While the curvatures associated with these particles carry a definite spin, the underlying potentials cannot be, and should not be, interpreted as single…
We classify the admissible types of constraint (hermitian, holomorphic, with reality conditions on the bosonic sectors, etc.) for generalized supersymmetries in the presence of complex spinors. We further point out which constrained…
We investigate the three-dimensional motion of a test particle in the gravitational field generated by a non-spherical compact object endowed with a mass quadrupole moment, described by the Erez-Rosen metric, and a radiation field,…
We develop a technique to directly study spinons (emergent spin S = 1/2 particles) in quantum spin models in any number of dimensions. The size of a spinon wave packet and of a bound pair (a triplon) are defined in terms of wave-function…
A complete set of generalized spin-squeezing inequalities is derived for an ensemble of particles with an arbitrary spin. Our conditions are formulated with the first and second moments of the collective angular momentum coordinates. A…
A universal description of particles with spins j greater or equal one , transforming in (j,0)+(0,j), is developed by means of representation specific second order differential wave equations without auxiliary conditions and in covariant…
The models of spin systems defined on Euclidean space provide powerful machinery for studying a broad range of condensed matter phenomena. While the non-relativistic effective description is sufficient for most of the applications, it is…
In this work we analyze the classical confinement of relativistic and supersymmetric spinning particles in higher-codimension braneworlds. Considering warped backgrounds generated by string-like $ n=2$ and global scalar defects $ n \geq 3$,…
With the aid of a Fermi-Walker chart associated with an orthonormal frame attached to a time-like curve in spacetime, a discussion is given of relativistic balance laws that may be used to construct models of massive particles with spin,…
We investigate the dynamics of a single deformable self-propelled particle which undergoes a spinning motion in a two-dimensional space. Equations of motion are derived from the symmetry argument for three kinds of variables. One is a…
We describe spinors in Minkowskian spaces with arbitrary signature and their role in the classification of space-time superalgebras and their R-symmetries in any dimension.
In the free case, it is possible to define quantum fields which describe particles with integer or half-integer spin larger than one. It is shown that particles with integer spin must have Bose statistic and particles with half-integer-spin…
In this paper we pose two fundamental ideas on the motion of an elementary particle supporting the internal "spin motion" or $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ and a particle as concentrated energy. First, the particle moves randomly in a limited…
The relativistic spinning particle model, proposed in [3,4], is analyzed in a Hamiltonian framework. The spin is simulated by extending the configuration space by introducing a light-like four vector degree of freedom. The model is heavily…
