We discuss the generalization of the Dirac equations and spinors in momentum space to free unstable spin-$1/2$ fermions taking into account the fundamental requirement of Lorentz covariance. We derive the generalized adjoint Dirac equations…
We present a unified group-theoretical framework for superparticle theories. This explains the origin of the ``twistor-like'' variables that have been used in trading the superparticle's $\kappa$-symmetry for worldline supersymmetry. We…
We consider conformal actions of simple Lie groups on compact Lorentzian manifolds. Mainly motivated by the Lorentzian version of a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, we establish the alternative: Either the group acts isometrically for some…
We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…
We relate the Lounesto classification of regular and singular spinors to the orbits of the $Spin(3,1)$ group in the space of Dirac spinors. We find that regular spinors are associated with the principal orbits of the spin group while…
Spin network technique is usually generalized to relativistic case by changing $SO(4)$ group -- Euclidean counterpart of the Lorentz group -- to its universal spin covering $SU(2)\times SU(2)$, or by using the representations of $SO(3,1)$…
We present a systematic method for constructing manifolds with Lorentzian holonomy group that are non-static supersymmetric vacua admitting covariantly constant light-like spinors. It is based on the metric of their Riemannian counterparts…
Pseudoclassical supersymmetric model to describe massive particles with higher spins (integer and half-integer) in $2+1$ dimensions is proposed. The quantization of the model leads to the minimal (with only one polarization state) quantum…
We derive the stabiliser group of the four-vector, also known as Wigner's little group, in case of massless particle states, as the maximal solvable subgroup of the proper orthochronous Lorentz group of dimension four, known as the Borel…
Supergroups are defined in the framework of $\dZ_2$-graded Clifford algebras over the fields of real and complex numbers, respectively. It is shown that cyclic structures of complex and real supergroups are defined by Brauer-Wall groups…
We classify all the hyperspherical equivariant slices of reductive groups. The classification is $S$-dual to the one of basic classical Lie superalgebras.
We construct, in D=3,4,6 and 10 space-time dimensions, supersymmetric Lagrangians for free massless higher spin fields which belong to reducible representations of the Poincare group.The fermionic part of these models consists of…
We propose a generalization of the supersymmetric representation of spins with symplectic symmetry, generalizing the rotation group of the spin from SU(2) to SP(N). As a test application of this new representation, we consider two toy…
A group theory justification of one dimensional fractional supersymmetry is proposed using an analogue of a coset space, just like the one introduced in $1D$ supersymmetry. This theory is then gauged to obtain a local fractional…
There are two well-known ways of describing elements of the rotation group SO$(m)$. First, according to the Cartan-Dieudonn\'e theorem, every rotation matrix can be written as an even number of reflections. And second, they can also be…
Relativistic symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian with a mixture of spherically symmetric Lorentz scalar and vector potentials, are examined from the point of view of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The cases considered include the…
We show a nice symmetric/antisymmetric relation between the four vector Lorentz transformation and the Dirac spinor one in the Majorana representation. From the spinor one, we exhibit the antisymmetric pending of the symmetric Minkowski…

By analyzing the Dirac equation with static electric and magnetic fields it is shown that Dirac's theory is nothing but a generalized one-particle quantum theory compatible with the special theory of relativity. This equation describes a…
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…
