A classical action is proposed which upon quantisation yields massless particles belonging to the continuous spin representation of the Poincar\'e group. The string generalisation of the action is identical to the tensionless extrinsic…

We make a simple observation that the massless continuous spin representations of the Poincar\'e group are not present in perturbative string theory constructions. This represents one of the very few model-independent low-energy…

We construct coherent states of the massless and massive representations of the Poincar\'e group. They are parameterised by points on the classical state space of spinning particles. Their properties are explored, with special emphasis on…

The BRST approach is applied to the description of irreducible massless higher spins representations of the Poincare group in arbitrary dimensions. The total system of constraints in such theory includes both the first and the second class…

We give a unitary irreducible representation of the proper Poincar\'e group that leads to an operational version of the classical relativistic dynamics of a massive spinless particle. Unlike quantum mechanics, in this operational theory…

Classical results and recent developments on the theoretical description of elementary particles with "continuous" spin are reviewed. At free level, these fields are described by unitary irreducible representations of the isometry group…

We formulate the conditions defining the irreducible continuous spin representation of the four-dimensional Poincar\'e group based on spin-tensor fields with dotted and undotted indices. Such a formulation simplifies analysis of the…

We discuss the long range interactions mediated by continuous spin particles. We start by deriving the propagator for a continuous spin particle using the antifield BRST formalism. Then we couple the continuous spin particle to a conserved…

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…

We present a construction of string--localized covariant free quantum fields for a large class of irreducible (ray) representations of the Poincare group. Among these are the representations of mass zero and infinite spin, which are known…

Particles states transforming in one of the infinite spin representations of the Poincar\'e group (as classified by E. Wigner) are consistent with fundamental physical principles, but local fields generating them from the vacuum state…

Some puzzling aspects of higher spin field theory in Minkowski space-time, such as the tracelessness constraints and the search for an underlying physical principle, are discussed. A connecting idea might be provided by the recently much…

We study a string theory which is exclusively based on extrinsic curvature action. It is a tensionless string theory because the action reduces to perimeter for the flat Wilson loop. We are able to solve and quantize this high-derivative…

The spin-statistics conection is obtained for classical point particles. The connection holds within pseudomechanics, a theory of particle motion that extends classical physics to include anticommuting Grassmann variables, and which…

Massless spinning particle and tensionless string models on $AdS_d$ background in the projective-space realization are proposed as constrained Hamiltonian systems. Various forms of particle and string Lagrangians are derived and classical…

We present a gauge field theory for the continuous spin tachyonic representation of the Poincar\'e group. It was obtained by a dimensional reduction of a complex gauge field theory for a continuous spin particle in a cotangent bundle over…

We discuss the dynamical implications of the recent proof that for a quantum particle in a random potential on a regular tree graph absolutely continuous spectrum occurs non-perturbatively through rare fluctuation-enabled resonances. The…

We derive relativistic equations for charged and neutral spin particles. The approach for higher-spin particles is based on generalizations of the Bargmann-Wigner formalism. Next, we study, what new physical information can the introduction…

We study free, covariant, quantum (Bose) fields that are associated with irreducible representations of the Poincar\'e group and localized in semi-infinite strings extending to spacelike infinity. Among these are fields that generate the…

The most general massless particles allowed by Poincare-invariance are "continuous-spin" particles (CSPs) characterized by a scale \rho, which at \rho=0 reduce to familiar helicity particles. Though known long-range forces are adequately…
