Are 1+1 and 2+2 exceptional signatures?
J. A. Nieto
We prove that 1+1 and 2+2 target `spacetimes' of a 0-brane are exceptional signatures. Our proof is based on the requirement of SL(2,R) and `Lorentz' symmetries of a first order la…
High integer spins beyond the Fierz-Pauli Framework
S. Gómez-Avila, Mauro Napsuciale, J. A. Nieto +1
We explicitly construct in the (1/2,1/2)X(1/2,1/2) representation space the operator of the squared Pauli-Lubanski vector and derive from it that the -6m^{2}eigensubspace (spin 2 i…
The de Sitter Relativistic Top Theory
J. Armenta, J. A. Nieto
We discuss the relativistic top theory from the point of view of the de Sitter (or anti de Sitter) group. Our treatment rests on Hanson-Regge's spherical relativistic top lagrangia…
Born-Infeld Gravity in any Dimension
J. A. Nieto
We develop a Born-Infeld type theory for gravity in any dimension. We show that in four dimensions our formalism allows a self-dual (or anti-self dual) Born-Infeld gravity descript…
