Guided by a spinning particle model with U(N)-extended supergravity on the worldline we derive higher spin equations on complex manifolds. Their minimal formulation is in term of gauge fields which satisfy suitable constraints. The latter…

We describe a family of twisted partition functions for the relativistic spinning particle models. For suitable choices of fugacities this computes a refined Euler characteristics that counts the dimension of the physical states for…

An explicit construction of theories of spinning particles, both massive and massless, is given with arbitrary extended supersymmetry on the world-line. As an application of our results, we give a universal description of 3D (and via…

In this short contribution we will review the quantization of U(N) spinning particles with complex target spaces, producing equations for higher spin fields on complex backgrounds. We will focus first on flat complex space, and subsequently…

Extending our prior investigation, we give a new off-shell construction of theories of spinning particles propagating in Minkowski spaces with arbitrary $N$-extended supersymmetry on the world-line. The basis of the new off-shell…

We compute the partition function for the $N=1$ spinning particle, including pictures and the large Hilbert space, and show that it counts the dimension of the BRST cohomology in two- and four-dimensional target space. We also construct a…

A new spinning particle with a definite sign of the energy is defined on spacelike hypersurfaces after a critical discussion of the standard spinning particles. They are the pseudoclassical basis of the positive energy $({1\over 2},0)$ [or…

In the (super)twistor formulation of massless (super)particle mechanics, the mass-shell constraint is replaced by a "spin-shell" constraint from which the spin content can be read off. We extend this formalism to massive (super)particles…

String theory and supersymmetry are theoretical ideas that go beyond the standard model of particle physics and show promise for unifying all forces. After a brief introduction to supersymmetry, we discuss the prospects for its experimental…

The dynamics of an N=4 spinning particle in a curved background is described using the N=4 superfield formalism. The $SU(2)_{local}\times SU(2)_{global}$ N=4 superconformal symmetry of the particle action requires the background to be a…

We give an example of topological theory whose Hilbert space contains physical objects: the N=2 supersymmetric Lagrangian of spin-one particles moving in D-dimensional space-time equals the Lagrangian of a topological sigma model in a…

I describe our understanding of physics near the planck length, in particular the great progress of the last four years in string theory. Superstring theory, and a recent extension called M theory, are leading candidates for a quantum…

By incorporating spinning particles into the framework of classical General Relativity, the theory is changed insofar, as, though using holonome coordinates, the connexion becomes asymmetrical. This implies, that partial derivatives do not…

Spinning particle models can be used to describe higher spin fields in first quantization. In this paper we discuss how spinning particles with gauged O(N) supersymmetries on the worldline can be consistently coupled to conformally flat…

In this paper we analyze the relativistic quantum motion of charged spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and scalar potentials in the cosmic string spacetime. In order to develop this analysis, we assume…

The $\cal{N}=4$ supersymmetric spinning particle admits several consistent quantizations, related to the gauging of different subgroups of the $SO(4)$ $R$-symmetry on the worldline. We construct the background independent BRST quantization…

We discuss the continuum field theory limit of the physical scenario described in Ref. [1], the universe arising from the interpretation of the most general collection of logical codes in terms of distributions of units of energy along…

In this work we analyze the classical confinement of relativistic and supersymmetric spinning particles in higher-codimension braneworlds. Considering warped backgrounds generated by string-like $ n=2$ and global scalar defects $ n \geq 3$,…

Rotation of such objects as an atomic nucleus or a chromodynamical string can result in specific effects in scattering processes and multiparticle production. Secondary fragments of the rotating nucleus or of the decaying string can move…

There are at present two known string theories in $(2,2)$ dimensions. One of them is the well known $N=2$ string, and the other one is a more recently constructed $N=1$ spacetime supersymmetric string. They are both based on certain…
