We show that a self-consistent classical theory of the spin, based on a very general Lagrangian extending the Newtonian dynamics, does predict the special case of helicity-0 particles, which at the same time are endowed with nonzero spin and zero intrinsic angular momentum.

We consider the class of spinning particle theories, whose quantization corresponds to the continuous helicity representation of the Poincare group. The classical trajectories of the particle are shown to lie on the parabolic cylinder with a lightlike axis irrespectively to any specifics of the model. The space-time position of the cylinder is determined by the values of momentum and total angular momentum. The value of helicity determines the focal distance of parabolic cylinder. Assuming that all the world lines lying on one and the same cylinder are connected by gauge transformations, we de…
Spinning into Quantum Geometry: Dirac and Wheeler-DeWitt Dynamics from Stochastic Helicity
针对圈量子引力缺乏自然动力学机制的问题，提出基于自旋网络边螺旋度随机翻转的框架，在单一概率体系中同时涌现出狄拉克型量子演化与Wheeler-DeWitt型引力约束，为量子几何和时间问题提供了新视角。
The Wigner little group for massless particles is isomorphic to the Euclidean group ${\rm SE}(2)$. Applied to momentum eigenstates, or to infinite plane waves, the Euclidean "Wigner translations" act as the identity. We show that when applied to finite wavepackets the translation generators move the packet trajectory parallel to itself through a distance proportional to the particle's helicity. We relate this effect to the Hall effect of light and to the Lorentz-frame dependence of the position of a massless spinning particle.
The components of the position operator, at a fixed time, for a massless and spinning particle with given helicity $λ$ described in terms of bosonic degrees of freedom have an anomalous commutator proportional to $λ$. The position operator generates translations in momentum space. We show that a ray-representation for these translations emerges due to the non-commuting components of the position operators and relate this to the Berry-phase for photons. The Tomita-Chiao experiment then gives support for this relativistic and quantum mechanical description of photons in terms of non-commuting po…
The most general N=1 Lagrangian for the spinning particle with local supersymmetry is found and the constraints of the system are analysed. The Dirac quantisation of the model is also investigated.
The Kirillov-Souriau-Kostant construction is applied to derive the classical and quantum mechanics for the massive spinning particle in arbitrary dimension.
Inserting the correct Lorentz factor into the definition of the 4-velocity v^mu for spinning particles entails new kinematical properties for v^2. The well-known constraint (identically true for scalar particles, but entering also the Dirac theory, and assumed a priori in all spinning particle models) p_mu v^mu = m is here derived in a self-consistent way.
The general model of an arbitrary spin massive particle in any dimensional space-time is derived on the basis of Kirillov - Kostant - Souriau approach. Keywords: spinning particles, Poincaré group, orbit method, constrained dynamics, geometric quantization.
We construct the action of a non-relativistic spinning particle moving in a general torsionless Newton-Cartan background. The particle does not follow the geodesic equations, instead the motion is governed by the non-relativistic analog of Papapetrou equation. The spinning particle is described in terms of Grassmann variables. In the flat case the action is invariant under the non-relativistic analog of space-time vector supersymmetry.
Following the Poincare algebra for a free spinning particle and using the Casimirs of the algebra in the Hamiltonian approach, we construct systematically a set of Lagrangians for the relativistic spinning particle which includes the Lagrangian given in the literature. Then we analyze the dynamics of this generalized system in the Lagrangian formulation and show that the equations of motion support an oscillatory solution corresponding to the spinning nature of the system. Next we analyze the canonical structure of the system and present the correct gauge suitable for the spinning motion of th…
Note on the Kerr Spinning-Particle Equations of Motion
本文通过 Newman-Janis 算法的探测器 counterpart，揭示了 Kerr 黑洞在点粒子有效理论中引力动力学的自对偶性及引力 Compton 幅的旋量化特性。
In this letter, we discuss the extension of Feynman's derivation of the equation of motion to the case of spinning particles. We show that a spinning particle interacts only with the electromagnetic and gravitational fields. In the absence of the electromagnetic interactions, we rederive Papapetrou's equations for spinning particles in the background of the conformal gravity. We also find that the effect of spin coupled to non-constant electromagnetic fields leads to further corrections to the Lorentz force equations. Some discussions of these results are given at the end.
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 negative energy $(0,{1\over 2})$] parts of the $({1\over 2},{1\over 2})$ solutions of the Dirac equation. The study of the isolated system of N such spinning charged particles plus the electromagnetic field leads to their description in the rest-frame Wigner-covariant instant form of dynamics on the Wigner hyperplanes orthogonal to the total 4-momentum of th…
We construct the U(N) spinning particle theories, which describe particles moving on Kahler spaces. These particles have the same relation to the N=2 string as usual spinning particles have to the NSR string. We find the restrictions on the target space of the theories coming from supersymmetry and from global anomalies. Finally, we show that the partition functions of the theories agree with what is expected from their spectra, unlike that of the N=2 string in which there is an anomalous dependence on the proper time.
In this manuscript we study the confinement of bosonic and spinning test particles in smooth Randall-Sundrum models. For this, we show that it is possible to find an effective potential which describe the motion of the particle over the extra dimension. For the bosonic case it is a known fact that free test particles cannot be localized neither in thin nor thick branes. Recently, a coupling to a scalar field has been used to localize a limited range of masses. Up to now, no mechanism has been found that can trap test particles of any mass over the brane. To solve this, we show that a coupling …
We study the interaction of a scalar and a spinning particle with a coherent linearized gravitational wave field treated as a classical spin two external field. The spin degrees of freedom of the spinning particle are described by skew-commuting variables. We derive the explicit expressions for the eigenfunctions and the Green's functions of the theory. The discussion is exact within the approximation of neglecting radiative corrections and we prove that the result is completely determined by the semiclassical contribution.
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 truncation all lower dimensional) supersymmetric scalar multiplets with arbitrary N-extended supersymmetry.
On (spinor)-helicity and bosonization in $AdS_4/CFT_3$

It is shown that dynamics of D+2 elements of the (super)diffeomorphism group in one (1+1 for the super) dimension describes the D - dimensional (spinning) massless relativistic particles. The coordinates of this elements (D+2 einbeins, D+2 connections and 1 additional common coordinate of higher dimensionality) play the role of coordinates, momenta and Lagrange multiplier, needed for the manifestly conformal and reparametrization invariant description of the D - dimensional (spinning) particle in terms of the D+2 - dimensional spacetime.
We propose the action of d=4 Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spinning particle with arbitrary fixed quantum numbers. Regardless of the spin value, the configuration space of the model is a direct product of d=4 AdS space and two-dimensional sphere corresponds to spinning degrees of freedom. The model is an AdS counterpart of the massive spinning particle in the Minkowski space proposed earlier. Being AdS-invariant, the model possesses two gauge symmetries implying identical conservation law for AdS-counterparts of mass and spin. Two equivalent forms of the action functional, minimal and manifestly covari…
Five-dimensional spinor helicity for all masses and spins
本研究提出源自d维变量的五维旋量螺旋度新视角，无需特殊低维同构与动量分解，系统构建任意自旋质量的三点树级振幅空间，给出高能极限计算方案，可应用于高自旋有效场论及五维高自旋黑洞散射。
In this work we explore the geodesic deviations of spinning test particles in a string inspired Einstein-Kalb Ramond background. Such a background is known to be equivalent to a spacetime geometry with torsion. We have shown here that the antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field has significant effect on the geodesic deviation of a spinning test particle. A search for an observational evidence of such an effect in astrophysical experiments may lead to a better undestanding of the geometry of the background spacetime.
A twistorial formulation of a particle of arbitrary spin has been constructed. Equations of the twistor formulation are obtained for massive and massless spinning particles. The twistor space of the massive particle is formed by two twistors and two complex scalars. In the massive case, integral transformations relating twistor fields with usual space-time fields have been constructed.
The classical spinning particles are considered such that quantization of classical model leads to an irreducible massive representation of the Poincaré group. The class of gauge equivalent classical particle world lines is shown to form a $[(d+1)/2]$-dimensional world sheet in $d$-dimensional Minkowski space, irrespectively to any specifics of classical model. For massive spinning particles in $d=3,4$, the world sheets are shown to be cylinders. The radius of cylinder is fixed by representation. In higher dimensions, particle's world sheet turn out to be a toroidal cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times …
The technique of functional integration over velocities is applied to the calculation of the propagator of a spinning particle with and without anomalous magnetic moment. A representation for the spin factor is obtained in this context for the particle in a constant electromagnetic field. As a by-product, we also obtain a Schwinger representation for the first case.
We derive, in 2+1 dimensions, classical solutions for metric and motion of two or more spinning particles, in the conformal Coulomb gauge introduced previously. The solutions are exact in the $N$-body static case, and are perturbative in the particles' velocities in the dynamic two-body case. A natural boundary for the existence of our gauge choice is provided by some ``CTC horizons'' encircling the particles, within which closed timelike curves occur.
This paper introduces the way of the embedding of spinning particle quantum mechanically. Schrödinger equation on its submanifold obtains the gauge field as spin connection, and it reduces to the ones obtained by Ohnuki and Kitakado when we consider $S^2$ in $R^3$. PACS numbers: 03.65
The article is a natural continuation of the papers by Gavrilov and Gitman (Class.Quant.Grav. {\bf 17} (2000) L133; Int. J. Mod. Phys. A15 (2000) 4499) devoted to relativistic particle quantization. Here we generalize the problem, considering the quantization of a spinning particle in arbitrary gravitational background. The nontriviality of such a generalization is related to the neccessity of solving complicated ordering problems. Similar to the flat space-time case, we show in the course of the canonical quantization how a consistent relativistic quantum mechanics of spinning particle in gra…
Twistor formulation of massive arbitrary spin particle has been constructed. Twistor space of such particle is formed two twistors and two complex scalars which form together 'bosonic supertwistor'. The formulation is deduced from space-time one for spinning particle by means of introducing auxiliary harmonic variables and consequent partial fixing of gauges. It is carried out the canonical quantization of twistor massive particle with nonzero spin. It is found the eigenvalues of Casimir operators on particle states and harmonic expansion of wave function in spectrum.
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 formulation is provided by realizations of new algebraic structures ${\cal G}{\cal R}$(${\rm d}, N$) that are certain generalizations of Pauli algebras.
We propose a formulation of the massive spinning particle in terms of physical bosonic and fermionic fields only. We make use neither of auxiliary objects of the type of $γ_5$ nor of gauge fields. The model is to be used as a suitable starting point for a forthcoming study of the rigid superparticle.
We obtain a manifestly background independent BRST quantization of the $\N=4$ supersymmetric spinning particle. We show that nilpotency of the BRST charge $Q$ implies the Einstein equations admitting a cosmological constant of indefinite sign. The physical graviton states are given by the vertex operator, obtained by an infinitesimal variation of $Q$, acting on diffeomorphism ghost states. In addition, the tree-point graviton scattering vertex is correctly reproduced by the worldline computation with these vertex operators.
Using the BFV approach we quantize a pseudoclassical model of the spin one half relativistic particle that contains a single bosonic constraint, contrary to the usual locally supersymmetric models that display first and second class constraints.
We construct a spinning particle that reproduces the propagation of the graviton on those curved backgrounds which solve the Einstein equations, with or without cosmological constant, i.e. Einstein manifolds. It is obtained by modifying the N=4 supersymmetric spinning particle by relaxing the gauging of the full SO(4) R-symmetry group to a parabolic subgroup, and selecting suitable Chern-Simons couplings on the worldline. We test it by computing the correct one-loop divergencies of quantum gravity in D=4.
The canonical quantization of $D=2n$ dimensional Dirac spinning particle in the external electromagnetic field is carried out in the gauge which allows to describe simultaneously particles and antiparticles (massive and massless) already at the classical level. Pseudoclassical Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is used to obtain canonical (Newton-Wigner) coordinates and in terms of this variables the theory is quantized. The connection of this quantization with the Blount picture of Dirac particle in the external electromagnetic field is discussed.
Lienard-Wiechert potentials of the relativistic spinning particle with anomalous magnetic moment in pseudoclassical theory are constructed. General expressions for the Lienard-Wiechert potentials are used for investigation of some specific cases of the motion of the spinning particle. In particular the spin dependence of the intensity of the synchrotron radiation of the transversely polarized particle performing uniform circular motion is considered. When the movement of the particle in external homogeneous magnetic field the obtained formulae coincide with those known from quantum theory of r…
We study the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for a pseudoclassical particle with anomalous magnetic moment in an external, stationary electromagnetic field. We show that the transformation can be expressed in a closed form for neutral particles in purely electrostatic fields and for neutral and charged particles in external magnetostatic fields. The explicit expressions of the diagonalized Hamiltonians are calculated.
A covariant spinor representation of $iosp(d,2/2)$ is constructed for the quantization of the spinning relativistic particle. It is found that, with appropriately defined wavefunctions, this representation can be identified with the state space arising from the canonical extended BFV-BRST quantization of the spinning particle with admissible gauge fixing conditions after a contraction procedure. For this model, the cohomological determination of physical states can thus be obtained purely from the representation theory of the $iosp(d,2/2)$ algebra.
We consider a classical spinning particle in the frame of the relativistic physics by means of a covariant Hamiltonian and of a generalization of Poisson brackets which take into account the gauge fields. We obtain different equations of motion and evolution in this context and we compare our results with those of Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi. An extension to the case of a curved space and a link towards quantum theory are given at the end of the paper.
We study the quantization problem of relativistic scalar and spinning particles interacting with a radiation electromagnetic field by using the path integral and the external source method. The spin degrees of freedom are described in terms of Grassmann variables and the Feynman kernel is obtained through functional integration on both Bose and Fermi variables. We provide rigourous proof that the Feynman amplitudes are only determined by the classical contribution and we explicitly evaluate the propagators.
The superdiffeomorphisms invariant description of $N$ - extended spinning particle is constructed in the framework of nonlinear realizations approach. The action is universal for all values of $N$ and describes the time evolution of $D+2$ different group elements of the superdiffeomorphisms group of the $(1,N)$ superspace. The form of this action coincides with the one-dimensional version of the gravity action, analogous to Trautman's one.
The method of nonlinear realizations is applied for the conformally invariant description of the spinning particles in terms of geometrical quantities of the parameter spaces of the one dimensional N - extended superconformal groups. We develop the superspace approach to the cases of spin 0, 1/2, 1 particles and describe the alternative component approach in the application to the spin-1/2 particle.
We construct the action of a relativistic spinning particle from a non-linear realization of a space-time odd vector extension of the Poincaré group. For particular values of the parameters appearing in the lagrangian the model has a gauge world-line supersymmetry.{As a consequence of this local symmetry there are BPS solutions in the model preserving 1/5 of the supersymmetries.} A supersymmetric invariant quantization produces two decoupled 4d Dirac equations.
In this paper I review the multiplet calculus of $N = 1$, $D = 1$ local supersymmetry with applications to the construction of models for spinning particles in background fields, and models with space-time supersymmetry. New features include a non-linear realization of the local supersymmetry algebra and the coupling to anti-symmetric tensor fields of both odd and even rank. The non-linear realization allows the construction of a $D = 1$ cosmological-constant term, which provides a mass term in the equations of motion.
The general model of an arbitrary spin massive particle in any dimensional space-time is derived on the basis of Kirillov - Kostant - Souriau approach. It is shown that the model allows consistent coupling to an arbitrary background of electromagnetic and gravitational fields.
For the `classical' formulation of a massive spinning particle, the propagator is obtained along with the spin factor. We treat the system with two kinds of constraints that were recently shown to be concerned with the reparametrization invariance and `quasi-supersymmetry'. In the path integral, the BRST invariant Lagrangian is used and the same spin factor is obtained as in the pseudo-classical formulation.
A generalization of the pseudoclassical action of a spinning particle in the presence of an anomalous magnetic momentum is given. The action is written in reparametrization and supergauge invariant form. The Dirac quantization, based on the Hamiltonian analyses of the model, leads to the Dirac-Pauli equation for a particle with an anomalous magnetic momentum in an external electromagnetic field. Due to the structure of first-class constraints in that case, the Dirac quantization demands for consistency to take into account an operators ordering problem.
A universal model for D=4 spinning particle is constructed with the configuration space chosen as ${\bf R}^{3,1}\times S^2$, where the sphere corresponds to the spinning degrees of freedom. The Lagrangian includes all the possible world--line first order invariants of the manifold. Each combination of the four constant parameters entering the Lagrangian gives the model, which describes the proper irreducible Poincaré dynamics both at the classical and quantum levels, and thereby the construction uniformly embodies the massive, massless and continuous helicity cases depending upon the special c…
The Hamiltonian formulation of the motion of a spinning relativistic particle in an external electromagnetic field is considered. The approach is based on the introduction of new coordinates and their conjugated momenta to describe the spin degrees of freedom together with an appropriate set of constraints in the Dirac formulation. For particles with gyromagnetic ratio $g=2$, the equations of motion do not predict any deviation from the standard Lorentz force, while for $g \neq 2$ an additional force, which corresponds to the magnetic dipole force, is obtained.
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of a free spinning particle in 2+1-dimensions or {\it anyon} are established, following closely the analysis of Hanson and Regge. Two viable (and inequivalent) Lagrangians are derived. It is also argued that one of them is more favourable. In the Hamiltonian analysis non-triviaal Dirac Brackets of the fundamental variables are computed for both the models. Important qualitative differences with a recently proposed model for anyons are pointed out.
A massive relativistic spinning point particle in any number of dimensions has in a previous article been shown to be described by first class constraints, which define a gauge theory. In the present paper we find the corresponding finite gauge transformations. By comparing the integrated gauge transformations to transformation equations found by Pryce, we conclude that the selection of gauge corresponds to selection of the relativistic center of mass frame in the model of Pryce, where a spinning particle is considered a composite object. The Lorentz group is identified as the gauge group, and…
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 particle". The twistor variables are gauge invariant with respect to the initial N local worldline supersymmetries; this simplifies aspects of the quantum theory such as implications of global gauge anomalies. We also give details of the two-supertwistor form of the superparticle, in particular the massive superparticle on AdS_5.
Extended phase space of an elementary (relativistic) system is introduced in the spirit of the Souriau's definition of the `space of motions' for such system. Our formulation is generally applicable to any homogeneous space-time (e.g. de Sitter) and also to Poisson actions. Calculations concerning the Minkowski case for non-zero spin particles show an intriguing alternative: we should either accept two-dimensional trajectories or (Poisson) noncommuting space-time coordinates.
Starting with a manifestly conformal ($O(d,2)$ invariant) mechanics model in $d$ space and 2 time dimensions, we derive the action for a massless spinning particle in $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The action obtained possesses both gauge $N$-extended worldline supersymmetry and local $O(N)$ invarince. Thus we improve the old statement by Howe et al. that the spinning particle model with extended worldline supersymmetry admits only flat space-time background for $N > 2$ (spin greater one). The original $(d+2)$-dimensional model is characterized by rather unusual property that the corres…
Massive spinning particle in $6d$-Minkowski space is described as a mechanical system with the configuration space $R^{5,1} \times CP^3$. The action functional of the model is unambiguously determined by the requirement of identical (off-shell) conservation for the phase-space counterparts of three Casimir operators of Poincaré group. The model proves to be completely solvable. Its generalization to the constant curvature background is presented. Canonical quantization of the theory leads to the relativistic wave equations for the irreducible $6d$ fields.
Five-dimensional Geometry from Spinning Amplitudes
利用五维旋量螺旋性振幅的经典极限，研究自旋张量的多极展开与Hodge对偶，并推广至Myers-Perry黑洞。
Recently (Phys. Rev. Lett. 114 (2015), 210402) the influence of the so called "Wigner translations" (more generally-Lorentz trans- formations) on circularly polarized Gaussian packets ( providing the solution to Maxwell equations in paraxial approximation) has been studied. It appears that, within this approximation, the Wigner trans- lations have an efect of shifting the wave packet trajectory parallel to itself by an amount proportional to the photon helicity. It has been suggested that this shift may result from specific properties of the algebra of Poincare generators for massless particle…
In this paper we investigate the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for a classical spinning test particle in the background of Kerr-Newman black hole. It is shown that the orbit of the spinning particle is related to the spin of the test particle. The motion of the spinning test particle will be superluminal if its spin is too large. We give an additional condition by considering the superluminal constraint for the ISCO in the black hole backgrounds. We obtain numerically the relations between the ISCO and the properties of the black holes and the test particle. It is found that the radiu…
It is well known that some black holes can act as accelerators for particles without spin. Recently, there are some works considering collision of two spinning particles in the background of Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes and it was shown that {the center-of-mass energy of the test particles is related to the spin}. In this paper we extend the results to some more general cases. We consider Kerr-Newman black holes as accelerators for spinning particles. We derive the center-of-mass energy of the spinning particles and use numerical method to investigate how the center-of-mass energy is aff…
Making use of the recently-derived, all-spin, opposite-helicity Compton amplitude, we calculate the classical gravitational scattering amplitude for one spinning and one spinless object at $\mathcal{O}(G^{2})$ and all orders in spin. By construction, this amplitude exhibits the spin structure that has been conjectured to describe Kerr black holes. This spin structure alone is not enough to fix all deformations of the Compton amplitude by contact terms, but when combined with considerations of the ultrarelativistic limit we can uniquely assign values to the parameters remaining in the even-in-s…
