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…

We present D=3 and D=4 models for massive particles moving in a new type of enlarged spacetime, with D-1 additional vector coordinates, which after quantization lead to the towers of massive higher spin (HS) free fields. Two classically…

We study 4d superconformal indices for a large class of N=1 superconformal quiver gauge theories realized combinatorially as a bipartite graph or a set of "zig-zag paths" on a two-dimensional torus T^2. An exchange of loops, which we call a…

Local boundary conditions involving field strengths and the normal to the boundary, originally studied in anti-de Sitter space-time, have been recently considered in one-loop quantum cosmology. This paper derives the conditions under which…

We develop the differential theory of complex spinorial forms associated with irreducible complex spinors across all dimensions and signatures. This framework enables the study of constrained parallelicity conditions for irreducible complex…

Inspired by the problem of classifying Einstein manifolds with positive scalar curvature, we prove that an Einstein four-manifold whose associated twistor space has scalar curvature constant on the fibers of the twistor bundle is half…

Tractors and Twistors bundles both provide natural conformally covariant calculi on $4D$-Riemannian manifolds. They have different origins but are closely related, and usually constructed bottom-up through prolongation of defining…

We suggest a new spin-4 self-dual model (parity singlet) and a new spin-4 parity doublet in $D=2+1$. They are of higher order in derivatives and are described by a totally symmetric rank-4 tensor without extra auxiliary fields. Despite the…

The Rarita-Schwinger operator is the twisted Dirac operator restricted to 3/2-spinors. Rarita-Schwinger fields are solutions of this operator which are in addition divergence-free. This is an overdetermined problem and solutions are rare;…

A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of…

In this work, we analyze the possibilities of certain gauge transformations regarding some specific spinorial dual structures. To this end, we define a general structure, which can be expressed in terms of discrete symmetry operators…

Here we discuss the construction of Sp$(4;\mathbb{R})$ invariant objects in the twistor space for three dimensional conformal field theories. The Sp$(4;\mathbb{R})$ invariant projective delta function, alongside the Twistor symplectic dot…

This paper studies the two-spinor form of the Rarita-Schwinger potentials subject to local boundary conditions compatible with local supersymmetry. The massless Rarita-Schwinger field equations are studied in four-real-dimensional…

We present a generalization of the spinor and twistor geometry for on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds enabled with nonholonomic distributions or for Finsler-Cartan spaces modelled on tangent Lorentz bundles. Nonholonomic (Finsler) twistors…

Using an approach based on the Casimir operators of the de Sitter group, the conformal invariant equations for a fundamental spin-2 field are obtained, and their consistency discussed. It is shown that, only when the spin-2 field is…

Under the spin-position decoupling approximation, a vector with a phase in 3D orientation space endowed with geometric algebra, substitutes the vector-matrix spin model built on the Pauli spin operator. The standard quantum operator-state…

In this paper we produce further specification of the geometric and algebraic properties of the earlier introduced superdimensional dual-covariant field theory (SFT) in a N-dimensional manifold [1] as an approach to a unified field theory…

Rarita-Schwinger approach to description of a massive spin 3/2 particle is investigated in static coordinates of the de Sitter space-time. The general covariant system, derived from the relevant Lagrangian, is presented as a main wave…

We elaborate on conformal higher-spin gauge theory in three-dimensional (3D) curved space. For any integer $n>2$ we introduce a conformal spin-$\frac{n}{2}$ gauge field $h_{(n)} =h_{\alpha_1\dots \alpha_n}$ (with $n$ spinor indices) of…

The two-twistor formulation of particle mechanics in D-dimensional anti-de Sitter space for D=4,5,7, which linearises invariance under the AdS isometry group Sp(4;K) for K=R,C,H, is generalized to the massless N-extended "spinning…
