We revisit Newton's equation of motion in one dimension when the moving particle has a variable mass m(x,t) depending both on position (x) and time (t). Geometrically the mass function is identified with one of the metric function in a…

We describe solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation which are spherically symmetric and localized, and may be regarded as massive particles without charge or spin. The proposed model, which is based on the action for a complex scalar field…
We study a system of two pointlike particles coupled to three dimensional Einstein gravity. The reduced phase space can be considered as a deformed version of the phase space of two special-relativistic point particles in the centre of mass…
We discuss a relativistic free particle with fractional spin in 2+1 dimensions, where the dual spin components satisfy the canonical angular momentum algebra $\left\{ S_\mu , S_\nu \right\}\,=\,\epsilon_{\mu \nu \gamma}S^\gamma $. It is…
We discuss how to construct models of interacting anyons by generalizing quantum spin Hamiltonians to anyonic degrees of freedom. The simplest interactions energetically favor pairs of anyons to fuse into the trivial ("identity") channel,…
We suggest that the physically irrelevant choice of a representative worldline of a relativistic spinning particle should correspond to a gauge symmetry in an action approach. Using a canonical formalism in special relativity, we identify a…

We construct a relativistic and curved space version of action- angle variables for a particle trapped in a gravity and electromagnetic background with time-like isometry. As an example, we consider a particle in AdS background.…
We introduce an original approach to geometric calculus in which we define derivatives and integrals on functions which depend on extended bodies in space--that is, paths, surfaces, and volumes etc. Though this theory remains to be fully…
We propose a simple mathematical model that describes a pairing-induced motion of active and passive particles in a two-dimensional system, which is motivated by our previous paper [Ishikawa et al., Phys. Rev. E \textbf{106} (2022) 024604].…

Starting from a model of an elastic medium, we derive equations of motion that are identical in form to Dirac's equation for a spin 1/2 particle with mass, coupled to electromagnetic and gravitational interactions. The mass and…
Relational particle mechanics are models in which there is, overall, no time, position, orientation (nor, sometimes, scale). They are useful for whole-universe modelling - the setting for quantum cosmology. This note concerns 3 particles in…
