Number sequences with wide-ranging applications in mathematics, physics, medicine, and engineering remain an active research topic. This study examines these sequences through the general framework of Horadam numbers and their special cases…
We demonstrate that the analytic calculation of the 1RSB break point parameter in a paper by de Oliveira and Fontanari[1] is erroneous, due to the omission of a higher order term in a lengthy perturbative calculation, and provide a…
The retrodiction of spin measurements along a set of different axes is revisited in detail. The problem is presented in two different pictures, a geometric and a general algebraic one. Explicit measurement operators that allow the…
Exotic spinors arise in non-simply connected base manifolds due to the nonequivalent spinor structure. The dynamics of exotic spinors are endowed with an additional differential factor. In this work, we merge the exotic spinor scenario with…
A recent investigation of the single spin asymmetry (SSA) in low virtuality electroproduction/photoproduction of $J/\psi$ in color evaporation model is presented. It is shown that the asymmetry is sizable and can be used as a probe for the…
Smooth deformations of a Minkowski type metric in a four-dimensional space-time manifold are considered. Deformations of the basic spin-tensorial fields associated with this metric are calculated and their application to calculating the…
A comment on Yoshimori's helical spin structure theory.
The presence of a co-orbital companion induces the splitting of the well known Keplerian spin-orbit resonances. It leads to chaotic rotation when those resonances overlap.
In this paper, we investigate an alternative formulation for spin 3/2 field equation. First we will review equation of motion of Dirac and Maxwell, and then construct the equation for spin 3/2 in the similar fashion. Our method actually a…
We examine the recent COMPASS data on the spin structure function g_1 singlet. We show that it is rather difficult to use the data in the present form in order to draw conclusions on the initial parton densities. However, our tentative…
Quasihole excitations in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems exhibit fractional statistics and fractional spin, but how the spin-statistics relation emerges from many-body physics remains poorly understood. Here we prove a spin-statistics…
In this paper, we extend to polarization the method we have recently employed to treat spin. We are led to a generalization of its treatment. Thus, we are able to connect its matrix treatment to first principles, and we obtain the most…
I present a fairly detailed discussion of various contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a_mu. I try to give an unbiased evaluation of the validity of the SM prediction for this quantity and to point out some delicate…
The behavior of spin doublets is known to play a major role in nuclear structure and shell effects. Pseudo-spin doublets are also known to impact the single-particle spectrum. The covariant framework, having these two effects encoded in its…
We study the dynamics of two homogeneous rigid ellipsoids subject to their mutual gravitational influence. We assume that the spin axis of each ellipsoid coincides with its shortest physical axis and is perpendicular to the orbital plane.…
The adaptation of Wigner's induced representation for a relativistic quantum theory making possible the construction of wavepackets and admitting covariant expectation values for the coordinate operator x^\mu introduces a foliation on the…
It is found that the extra quantum constraints to the spinor components of the equal-time Wigner function given in a recent paper by Zhuang and Heinz should vanish identically. We point out here the origin of the error and give an…
Two groups, ours (Mainz) and Bochum, have recently been re-evaluating the spin polarizabilities and spin structure functions at low $Q$, using the baryon chiral perturbation theory (B$\chi$PT), the manifestly-covariant counterpart of the…
We determine the complete set of generalized spin squeezing inequalities. These are entanglement criteria that can be used for the experimental detection of entanglement in a system of spin-1/2 particles in which the spins cannot be…
This paper is a mixture of expository material and current research material. Among new results are examples of generalised harmonic spinors and their gauged version, the generalised Seiberg-Witten equations.
