چکیده

Covariantly we reformulate the description of a spinning particle in terms of the Poincaré group. We also construct a Lagrangian which entails all possible constraints explicitly; all constraints can be obtained just from the Lagrangian. Furthermore, in this covariant reformulation, the Lorentz element is to be considered to evolve the momentum or spin component from an arbitrary fixed frame and not just from the particle rest frame. In distinction with the usual formulation, our system is directly comparable with the pseudo-classical e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] formulation. We get a peculiar symmetry which resembles the supersymmetry of the pseudo-classical formulation.

A Universal Model of D=4 Spinning Particle

A universal model for D=4 spinning particle is constructed with the configuration space chosen as R 3,1 ×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 La-grangian gives the model, which describes the proper irreducible...

Covariant spinor representation of iosp(d, 2/2) and quantization of the spinning relativistic particle

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....

The Wigner-weyl Formalism and the Relativistic Semi-classical Approximation 1

The relativistic semi-classical approximation for a free massive particle is studied using the Wigner-Weyl formalism. A non-covariant Wigner function is defined using the Newton-Wigner position operator. The perturbative solution for the time evolution is found. Causality is found to be perturbatively respected. 1 1 Introduction. The Wigner-Weyl formalism [1] offers a classical-like formulation...

Off shell κ - symmetry of the superparticle and the spinning superparticle

The spinorial local world-line κ-symmetry of the covariant Brink-Schwarz formulation of the 4-D superparticle is abelian in an off-shell phase-space formulation. The result is shown to generalize to the extended spinorial transformations of the spinning superparticle. ∗ Dept of Physics, University of Tasmania, Hobart Tas 7001 Australia

The local, covariant, continuous, anticommuting and nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations for all the fields of a (0 + 1)-dimensional spinning relativistic particle are obtained in the framework of augmented superfield approach to BRST formalism. The trajectory of this super-particle is parametrized by a monotonically increasing parameter τ that is em...
