Manifestly covariant formulation of discrete-spin, real-mass unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group is given. We begin with a field of spin-frames associated with 4-mometa p and use them to simplify the eigenvalue problem for the…
We develop a Hamiltonian formalism suitable to be applied to gauge theories in the presence of Gravitation, and to Gravity itself when considered as a gauge theory. It is based on a nonlinear realization of the Poincar\'e group, taken as…
The universal covering of SO(3) is modelled as a reflection group G_R in a representation independent fashion. For relativistic quantum fields, the Unruh effect of vacuum states is known to imply an intrinsic form of reflection symmetry,…
It is well-known that is spite of sharing some properties with conventional particles, topological geons in general violate the spin-statistics theorem. On the other hand, it is generally believed that in quantum gravity theories allowing…
In this paper, we review classical and quantum field theory of massive non-interacting spin-two fields. We derive the equations of motion and Fierz-Pauli constraints via three different methods: the eigenvalue equations for the Casimir…
We investigate certain classes of integrable classical or quantum spin systems. The first class is characterized by the recursively defined property $P$ saying that the spin system consists of a single spin or can be decomposed into two…
The spin-statistics connection is obtained in a simple and elementary way for general causal fields by using the parity operation to exchange spatial coordinates in the scalar product of a locally commuting field operator, evaluated at…
We present a review of the spin and statistics of topological geons, particles in 3+1 quantum gravity. They can have half-odd-integral spin and fermionic statistics and since the underlying gravitational field is tensorial and bosonic, this…
The angular momentum operators for a system of two spin-zero indistinguishable particles are constructed, using Isham's Canonical Group Quantization method. This mathematically rigorous method provides a hint at the correct definition of…
A construction of massive free fields with arbitrary spin and reversed spin-statistics relation is presented. The main idea of the construction is to consider fields that transform according to representations of the Lorentz group that are…
A new, more general derivation of the spin-statistics and PCT theorems is presented. It uses the notion of the analytic wave front set of (ultra)distributions and, in contrast to the usual approach, covers nonlocal quantum fields. The…
The neat formulation that describes the gauge interactions associated with internal symmetries is extended to the case of a simple, yet non-trivial, symmetry group structure which mixes gravity and electromagnetism by associating a gauge…
To any graph with external half-edges and internal masses, we associate canonical integrals which depend non-trivially on particle masses and momenta, and are always finite. They are generalised Feynman integrals which satisfy graphical…
The canonical description is presented for the string with pointlike masses at the ends in 1+1 dimensions in two different gauges: in the proper time gauge and in the light cone one. The classical canonical transformation is written out…
Using Grassmann variant of classical mechanics, we construct Lagrangian dynamics of classical spinning particle in (possibly non-abelian) gauge fields. Quantization of this model is briefly discussed.
It is shown that the spin is naturally introduced into classical mechanics if the latter is formulated as dynamics of the phase space density. It is shown that the uncertainty principle, as the amendment in this dynamics, restricts possible…
Wigner's method of induced representations is applied to the N=1 super-Poincare group, and by using a state corresponding to the basic vector of the little group as a Clifford vacuum we show that the spin operator of a supersymmetric point…
We give an argument that a broad class of geometric models of spinning relativistic particles with Casimir mass and spin being separately fixed parameters, have indeterminate worldline (while other spinning particles have definite…
We derive the semi-classical Lindblad master equation in phase space for both canonical and non-canonical Poisson brackets using the Wigner-Moyal formalism and the Moyal star-product. The semi-classical limit for canonical dynamical…
Systems with long-range interactions often relax towards statistical equilibrium over timescales that diverge with $N$, the number of particles. A recent work [S. Gupta and D. Mukamel, J. Stat. Mech.: Theory Exp. P03015 (2011)] analyzed a…
