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

Covariant scalar representation of iosp ( d , 2 / 2 ) and quantization of the scalar relativistic particle
A covariant scalar representation of iosp(d, 2/2) is constructed and analysed in comparison with existing methods for the quantization of the scalar relativistic particle. It is found that, with appropriately defined wavefunctions, this iosp(d, 2/2) produced representation can be identified with the state space arising from the canonical BFV-BRST quantization of the modular invariant, unoriente...

The transition amplitude is obtained for free massive particle of arbitrary spin by calculating the path integral in the index–spinor formulation within BFV–BRST approach. None renormalizations of the path integral measure were applied. The calculation has given the Weinberg propagator written in index–free form with the use of index spinor. The choice of boundary conditions on the index spinor...
متن کامل2 00 1 Quantization of spinning particle in arbitrary background
The article is a natural continuation of the papers by Gavrilov and Gitman 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 necces-sity of solving complicated ordering problems. Similar to the flat space-time case, ...

In this brief article we discuss spin polarization operators and spin polarization states of 2 + 1 massive Dirac fermions and find a convenient representation by the help of 4-spinors for their description. We stress that in particular the use of such a representation allows us to introduce the conserved covariant spin operator in the 2 + 1 field theory. Another advantage of this representation...
