Manifestly covariant formalism for Bargmann-Wigner fields is developed. It is shown that there exists some freedom in the choice of the form of the Bargmann-Wigner scalar product: The general product depends implicitly on a family of…
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…
An explicitly covariant formalism for dealing with Bargmann-Wigner fields is developed. An invariance of the Barmann-Wigner norm can be proved in a unified way for both massive and massless fields. It is shown that there exists some freedom…
The Bargmann-Wigner (BW) framework describes particles of spin-j in terms of Dirac spinors of rank 2j, obtained as the local direct product of n Dirac spinor copies, with n=2j. Such spinors are reducible, and contain also (j,0)+(0,j)-pure…
We develop a generalization of the Wigner scheme for constructing the relativistic fields corresponding to irreducible representations of the four-dimensional Poincar\'{e} group with infinite spin. The fields are parameterized by a vector…
The Barbero-Immirzi (BI) connection, as usually introduced out of a spin connection, is a global object though it does not transform properly as a genuine connection with respect to generic spin transformations, unless quite specific and…
We review the method for constructing local relativistic fields corresponding to the Bargmann-Wigner wave functions that describe the unitary irreducible representations of the $4D$ Poincar\'{e} group. The method is based on the use of the…
We derive new explicit expressions for the Dirac bilinears based on a generic representation of the massive Dirac spinors with canonical polarization. These bilinears depend on a direction $n$ in Minkowski space which specifies the form of…
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…

Wigner's particle classification provides for "continuous spin" representations of the Poincar\'e group, corresponding to a class of (as yet unobserved) massless particles. Rather than building their induced realizations by use of "Wigner…
On a connected, oriented, smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary we consider a real scalar field whose dynamics is ruled by $E$, a second order elliptic partial differential operator of metric type. Using the functional formalism and…
A classical result of Gelfand shows that the topologized spectrum of characters on commutative Banach algebra is homeomorphic to the underlying space. This fact is used in solving the Calder\'on problem in dimension 2 via the boundary…
Spin chain Hamiltonians can be written in terms of complex differential operators using the Bargmann representation of the Jordan-Schwinger map. In this case, the eigenfunctions are expressed as the product of orthonormal monomials of the…
A spinless covariant field $\phi$ on Minkowski spacetime $\M^{d+1}$ obeys the relation $U(a,\Lambda)\phi(x)U(a,\Lambda)^{-1}=\phi(\Lambda x+a)$ where $(a,\Lambda)$ is an element of the Poincar\'e group $\Pg$ and $U:(a,\Lambda)\to…
A universal description of particles with spins j greater or equal one , transforming in (j,0)+(0,j), is developed by means of representation specific second order differential wave equations without auxiliary conditions and in covariant…
We perform a quantization of the loop gravity phase space purely in terms of spinorial variables, which have recently been shown to provide a direct link between spin network states and simplicial geometries. The natural Hilbert space to…
We represent a bilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund operator at a given smoothness level as a finite sum of cancellative, complexity zero operators, involving smooth wavelet forms, and continuous paraproduct forms. This representation results in a…
On the basis of our recent modifications of the Dirac formalism we generalize the Bargmann-Wigner formalism for higher spins to be compatible with other formalisms for bosons. Relations with dual electrodynamics, with the…
