We explore new aspects of internal fermionic shifting symmetries, present in physical systems such as free Dirac spinors and p-form tensor-spinor fields. We propose a novel procedure to gauge these global symmetries, which also introduces a…

We study a semilinear equation involving the fractional Laplacian on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$. Unlike in conformally compact Einstein manifolds, the fractional Laplacian on $\mathbb{H}^n$ does not enjoy conformal covariance. By…
In Rindler space, we consider the Feynman Green's functions associated with either the Fulling-Rindler vacuum or the Minkowski vacuum. In Euclidean field theory, they becomes respectively the Euclidean Green's functions $G_{\infty}$ and…
We construct the retarded Green function and the Hadamard function in the Lorentzian (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime for the Poincar\'e coordinate by performing the mode integration directly. We explore the structure of…
We compute the Pauli-Jordan, Hadamard and Feynman propagators for the massive metrical perturbations on de Sitter space. They are expressed both in terms of mode sums and in invariant forms.
Massive spin 1/2 particles require 2-spinors for rotations, 4-spinors for rotations and boosts with parity. Including translations requires 8-spinors. Adapting 4-spinor field theory to 8-spinor fields with translation symmetry is discussed…

Multipolar expansions are a foundational tool for describing basis functions in quantum mechanics, many-body polarization, and other distributions on the unit sphere. Progress on these topics is often held back by complicated and competing…
The Dirac equation with both scalar and vector couplings describing the dynamics of a two-dimensional Dirac oscillator in the cosmic string spacetime is considered. We derive the Dirac-Pauli equation and solve it in the limit of the spin…
In this short article, we non-perturbatively derive a recursive formula for the Green's function associated with finitely many point Dirac delta potentials in one dimension. We also extend this formula to the case for the Dirac delta…
The 2(2s+1)-component relativistic basis spinors for the arbitrary spin particles are established in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces, where s=0,1 / 2,1, 3 / 2, 2, ... . These spinors for integral- and half-integral spins are…
We consider the Dirac equation in 1+1 space-time dimension with vector, scalar and pseudo-scalar coupling. In the traditional spin (or pseudo-spin) symmetry, the difference between (or sum of) the scalar and vector potentials is a constant.…
This paper reviews some recent work on (s)pin structures and the Dirac operator on hypersurfaces (in particular, on spheres), on real projective spaces and quadrics. Two approaches to spinor fields on manifolds are compared. The action of…
