Towards Lagrangian construction for infinite half-integer spin field

Particle Motion in a Yang-Mills Field: Wong's Equations and Spin One-half Analogues

A complete, straightforward and natural Lagrangian description is given for the classical non-relativistic dynamics of a particle with colour or internal symmetry degrees of freedom moving in a background Yang-Mills field. This provides a new simple Lagrangian formalism for Wong's equations for spinless particles, and presents also their generalisation, in gauge covariant form, for spin-$\frack$ particles, within a complete Lagrangian formalism.

Lagrangian formulation of irreducible massive fields of arbitrary spin in 2+1 dimensions

Lagrangian formulation of free massive fields corresponding to irreducible representations of the Poincare group of arbitrary integer and half-integer spins in three-dimensional space-time is presented. A relationship of the theory under consideration with the self-duality equations in four dimensions is discussed.

Half-integer Higher Spin Fields in (A)dS from Spinning Particle Models

We make use of O(2r+1) spinning particle models to construct linearized higher-spin curvatures in (A)dS spaces for fields of arbitrary half-integer spin propagating in a space of arbitrary (even) dimension: the field potentials, whose curvatures are computed with the present models, are spinor-tensors of mixed symmetry corresponding to Young tableaux with D/2 - 1 rows and r columns, thus reducing to totally symmetric spinor-tensors in four dimensions. The paper generalizes similar results obtained in the context of integer spins in (A)dS.

Massive Fields of Arbitrary Half-Integer Spin in Constant Electromagnetic Field

We study the interaction of gauge fields of arbitrary half-integer spins with the homogeneous electromagnetic field. We reduce the problem of obtaining the gauge-invariant Lagrangian and transformations of the half-integer spin fields in the external field to an algebraic problem of search for a set of operators with certain algebraical features using the representation of the higher-spin fields as vectors in a pseudo-Hilbert space. We consider such construction at linear order in the external electromagnetic field and also present an explicit form of interaction Lagrangians and gauge transfor…

Superspace formulation of massive half-integer superspin

An explicit form for the lagrangian of an arbitrary half-integer superspin ${\textsf{Y}}=s+1/2$ supermultiplet is obtained in $4{\rm D},~\mathcal{N}=1$ superspace. This is accomplished by the introduction of a tower of pairs of auxiliary superfields of increasing rank which are required to vanish on-shell for free theories. In the massless limit almost all auxiliary superfields decouple except one, which plays the role of compensator as required by the emergent gauge redundancy of the Lagrangian description of the massless theory. The number of off-shell degrees of freedom carried by the theor…

Lagrangian formulation of the massive higher spin N=1 supermultiplets in $AdS_4$ space

We give an explicit component Lagrangian construction of massive higher spin on-shell $N=1$ supermultiplets in four-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space $AdS_4$. We use a frame-like gauge invariant description of massive higher spin bosonic and fermionic fields. For the two types of the supermultiplets (with integer and half-integer superspins) each one containing two massive bosonic and two massive fermionic fields we derive the supertransformations leaving the sum of four their free Lagrangians invariant such that the algebra of these supertransformations is closed on-shell.

Retraction of "Half-integer spin representations of the graded extension of so(2,1) Lie algebra: Spin 3/2 particle in the Dirac-Oscillator potential"

The representation of the superalgebra SO(2,1) which is given by Eq. (3.1) and which resulted in the relativistic wave equation (4.1) is fully reducible. In fact, its even part is the direct sum of two spin 1/2 representations of the Lorentz group and does not represent spin 3/2 particle as we claimed. Consequently, we retract our claim and withdraw the manuscript.

Relativistic Coulomb problem for particles with arbitrary half-integer spin

Using relativistic tensor-bispinorial equations proposed in hep-th/0412213 we solve the Kepler problem for a charged particle with arbitrary half-integer spin interacting with the Coulomb potential.

The Half-Integer Charged Particles of the Orbifold Models

In this paper, we consider half-integer charged particles predicted by models of orbifold compactification of the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string theory. We find that it is possible for half-integer charged particles to exist in our universe, and the location of half-interger charged particles in a galaxy should be in the centers of the galaxy. By qualitative analysis, we find half-interger charged particles may be helpful in explaining the formation of SMBH at the large redshift and solving the UHECR puzzle.

Super-spectral curve of irregular conformal blocks

We use super-spectral curve to investigate irregular conformal states of integer and half-odd integer rank. The spectral curve is the loop equation of supersymmetrized irregular matrix model. The case of integer rank corresponds to the colliding limit of supersymmetric vertex operators of NS sector and half-odd integer to the Ramond sectors. The spectral curve is simply integrable at Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit and the partition function (inner product of irregular conformal state) is obtained from the superconformal structure manifest in the spectral curve. We present some explicit forms of th…

Lagrangians for Massive Dirac Chiral Superfields

A variant for the superspin one-half massive superparticle in $ 4D $, $ \mathcal{N}=1 $, based on Dirac superfields, is offered. As opposed to the current known models that use spinor chiral superfields, the propagating fields of the supermultiplet are those of the lowest mass dimensions possible: scalar, Dirac and vector fields. Besides the supersymmetric chiral condition, the Dirac superfields are not further constrained, allowing a very straightforward implementation of the path-integral method. The corresponding superpropagators are presented. In addition, an interaction super Yukawa poten…

Massive Fields with Arbitrary Integer Spin in Homogeneous Electromagnetic Field

We study the interaction of gauge fields of arbitrary integer spins with the constant electromagnetic field. We reduce the problem of obtaining the gauge-invariant Lagrangian of integer spin fields in the external field to purely algebraic problem of finding a set of operators with certain features using the representation of the high-spin fields in the form of vectors in a pseudo-Hilbert space. We consider such a construction up to the second order in the electromagnetic field strength and also present an explicit form of interaction Lagrangian for a massive particle of spin $s$ in terms of s…

Expansion around half-integer values, binomial sums and inverse binomial sums

I consider the expansion of transcendental functions in a small parameter around rational numbers. This includes in particular the expansion around half-integer values. I present algorithms which are suitable for an implementation within a symbolic computer algebra system. The method is an extension of the technique of nested sums. The algorithms allow in addition the evaluation of binomial sums, inverse binomial sums and generalizations thereof.

Towards Lagrangian formulations of mixed-symmetry Higher Spin Fields on AdS-space within BFV-BRST formalism

The spectrum of superstring theory on the $AdS_5 \times S_5$ Ramond-Ramond background in tensionless limit contains integer and half-integer higher-spin fields subject at most to two-rows Young tableaux $Y(s_1,s_2)$. We review the details of a gauge-invariant Lagrangian description of such massive and massless higher-spin fields in anti-de-Sitter spaces with arbitrary dimensions. The procedure is based on the construction of Verma modules, its oscillator realizations and of a BFV-BRST operator for non-linear algebras encoding unitary irreducible representations of AdS group.

Gauge invariant Lagrangian formulation of massive higher spin fields in (A)dS_3 space

We develop the frame-like formulation of massive bosonic higher spins fields in the case of 3-dimensional $(A)dS$ space with the arbitrary cosmological constant. The formulation is based on gauge-invariant description by involving the Stueckelberg auxiliary fields. The explicit form of the Lagrangians and the gauge transformation laws are found. The theory can be written in terms of gauge-invariant objects similar to the massless theories, thus allowing us to hope to use the same methods for investigation of interactions. In the massive spin 3 field example we are able to rewrite the Lagrangia…

Field configurations with half-integer angular momentum in purely bosonic theories without topological charge

It is shown that purely bosonic field theories can have configurations with half-integral angular momentum even when the topological magnetic charge of the configuration vanishes. This result is applicable whenever there is a non-Abelian gauge theory with particles that transform in the fundamental representation of the non-Abelian symmetry group.

On the Study of Non-Relativistic Spin Half-Integer Systems

In this article, after introducing appropriate equation for non-relativistic spin half-integer system, Lagrange density of such system has been derived. Then time-evolution of this system in presence of a time-dependent interaction has been done

Constrained BRST-BFV and BRST-BV Lagrangians for half-integer HS fields on $R^{1,d-1}$

Gauge invariant Lagrangian descriptions of irreducible and reducible half-integer higher-spin mixed-symmetric massless and massive representations of the Poincare group with off-shell algebraic constraints are constructed within a metric-like formulation in a $d$-dimensional flat space-time on the basis of a suggested constrained BRST approach. A Lorentz-invariant resolution of the BRST complex within the constrained BRST formulations produces a gauge-invariant Fang-Fronsdal Lagrangian entirely in terms of the initial triple gamma-traceless spin-tensor field $Ψ_{(μ)_{n}}$ with gamma-traceless …

Extension of the Poincaré group with half-integer spin generators: hypergravity and beyond

An extension of the Poincaré group with half-integer spin generators is explicitly constructed. We start discussing the case of three spacetime dimensions, and as an application, it is shown that hypergravity can be formulated so as to incorporate this structure as its local gauge symmetry. Since the algebra admits a nontrivial Casimir operator, the theory can be described in terms of gauge fields associated to the extension of the Poincaré group with a Chern-Simons action. The algebra is also shown to admit an infinite-dimensional non-linear extension, that in the case of fermionic spin-$3/2$…

Theory of Low Temperature Electron Spin Resonance in Half-integer Spin Antiferromagnetic Chains

A theory of low temperature (T) electron spin resonance (ESR) in half-integer spin antiferromagnetic chains is developed using field theory methods and avoiding previous approximations. It is compared to experiments on Cu benzoate. Power laws are predicted for the line-width broadening due to various types of anisotropy. At T -> 0, zero width absorption peaks occur in some cases. The second ESR peak in Cu benzoate, observed at T<.76K, is argued not to indicate Neel order as previously claimed, but to correspond to a sine-Gordon "breather" excitation.

Supersymmetry and the KdV equations for Integrable Hierarchies with a Half-integer Gradation

Supersymmetry is formulated for integrable models based on the $sl(2|1)$ loop algebra endowed with a principal gradation. The symmetry transformations which have half-integer grades generate supersymmetry. The $sl(2|1)$ loop algebra leads to N=2 supersymmetric mKdV and sinh-Gordon equations. The corresponding N=1 mKdV and sinh-Gordon equations are obtained via reduction induced by twisted automorphism. Our method allows for a description of a non-local symmetry structure of supersymmetric integrable models.

Massive Fields of Arbitrary Integer Spin in Symmetrical Einstein Space

We study the propagation of gauge fields with arbitrary integer spins in the symmetrical Einstein space of any dimensionality. We reduce the problem of obtaining a gauge-invariant Lagrangian of integer spin fields in such background to an purely algebraic problem of finding a set of operators with certain features using the representation of high-spin fields in the form of some vectors of pseudo-Hilbert space. We consider such construction in the linear order in the Riemann tensor and scalar curvature and also present an explicit form of interaction Lagrangians and gauge transformations for ma…

Competing Orders in One-Dimensional Half-Integer Fermionic Cold Atoms: A Conformal Field Theory Approach

The physical properties of arbitrary half-integer spins F = N - 1/2 fermionic cold atoms loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice are investigated by means of a conformal field theory approach. We show that for attractive interactions two different superfluid phases emerge for F \ge 3/2: A BCS pairing phase, and a molecular superfluid phase which is formed from bound-states made of 2N fermions. In the low-energy approach, the competition between these instabilities and charge-density waves is described in terms of Z_N parafermionic degrees of freedom. The quantum phase transition for F=3/…

Half-Integer Winding Number Solutions to the Landau-Ginzburg-Higgs Equations and Instability of the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen Vortex

New solutions to the abelian U(1) Higgs model, corresponding to vortices of integer and half-integer winding number bound onto the edges of domain walls and possibly surrounded by annular current flows, are described, based on a fine-grained analysis of the topology of such configurations in spacetime. The existence of these states, which saturate BPS bounds in specific limits and are quite reminiscent of D-branes and membranes in general, could have interesting and some important consequences in a wide range of physical contexts. For instance, they raise the possibility that for some regimes …

Gauss hypergeometric function: reduction, epsilon-expansion for integer/half-integer parameters and Feynman diagrams

The Gauss hypergeometric functions 2F1 with arbitrary values of parameters are reduced to two functions with fixed values of parameters, which differ from the original ones by integers. It is shown that in the case of integer and/or half-integer values of parameters there are only three types of algebraically independent Gauss hypergeometric functions. The epsilon-expansion of functions of one of this type (type F in our classification) demands the introduction of new functions related to generalizations of elliptic functions. For the five other types of functions the higher-order epsilon-expa…

Half-integer anomalous currents in 2D materials from a QFT viewpoint

Charge carriers in Dirac/Weyl semi-metals exhibit a relativistic-like behavior. In this work we propose a novel type of intrinsic half-integer Quantum Hall effect in 2D materials, thereby also offering a topological protection mechanism for the current. Its existence is rooted in the 2D parity anomaly, without any need for a perpendicular magnetic field. We conjecture that it may occur in disturbed honeycomb lattices where both spin degeneracy and time reversal symmetry are broken. These configurations harbor two distinct gap-opening mechanisms that, when occurring simultaneously, drive slight…

Multiple (inverse) binomial sums of arbitrary weight and depth and the all-order epsilon-expansion of generalized hypergeometric functions with one half-integer value of parameter

We continue the study of the construction of analytical coefficients of the epsilon-expansion of hypergeometric functions and their connection with Feynman diagrams. In this paper, we show the following results: Theorem A: The multiple (inverse) binomial sums of arbitrary weight and depth (see Eq. (1.1)) are expressible in terms of Remiddi-Vermaseren functions. Theorem B: The epsilon expansion of a hypergeometric function with one half-integer value of parameter (see Eq. (1.2)) is expressible in terms of the harmonic polylogarithms of Remiddi and Vermaseren with coefficients that are ratios of…

All order epsilon-expansion of Gauss hypergeometric functions with integer and half/integer values of parameters

It is proved that the Laurent expansion of the following Gauss hypergeometric functions, 2F1(I1+a*epsilon, I2+b*ep; I3+c*epsilon;z), 2F1(I1+a*epsilon, I2+b*epsilon;I3+1/2+c*epsilon;z), 2F1(I1+1/2+a*epsilon, I2+b*epsilon; I3+c*epsilon;z), 2F1(I1+1/2+a*epsilon, I2+b*epsilon; I3+1/2+c*epsilon;z), 2F1(I1+1/2+a*epsilon,I2+1/2+b*epsilon; I3+1/2+c*epsilon;z), where I1,I2,I3 are an arbitrary integer nonnegative numbers, a,b,c are an arbitrary numbers and epsilon is an arbitrary small parameters, are expressible in terms of the harmonic polylogarithms of Remiddi and Vermaseren with polynomial coefficie…

Off-shell Noether currents and potentials for first-order general relativity

We report off-shell Noether currents obtained from off-shell Noether potentials for first-order general relativity described by $n$-dimensional Palatini and Holst Lagrangians including the cosmological constant. These off-shell currents and potentials are achieved by using the corresponding Lagrangian and the off-shell Noether identities satisfied by diffeomorphisms generated by arbitrary vector fields, local $SO(n)$ or $SO(n-1,1)$ transformations, `improved diffeomorphisms', and the `generalization of local translations' of the orthonormal frame and the connection. A remarkable aspect of our …
