Unconventional Supersymmetry via the Dressing Field Method
J. François, L. Ravera
We re-construe unconventional supersymmetry, a notion introduced by Alvarez-Valenzuela-Zanelli (AVZ), as an attempt to use the framework of supersymmetric field theory to describe…
Boson-fermion algebraic mapping in second quantization
F. Lingua, D. M. Peñafiel, L. Ravera +1
We present an algebraic method to derive the structure at the basis of the mapping of bosonic algebras of creation and annihilation operators into fermionic algebras, and vice vers…
Geometric relational framework for general-relativistic gauge field theories
Jordan François, Lucrezia Ravera
We remind how relationality arises as the core insight of general-relativistic gauge field theories from the articulation of the generalised hole and point-coincidence arguments. H…
Dressing fields for supersymmetry: The cases of the Rarita-Schwinger and gravitino fields
J. François, L. Ravera
In this paper we argue that the gauge-fixing conditions typically used to extract the (off-shell) degrees of freedom of the Rarita-Schwinger spinor-vector and gravitino, respective…
On the Meaning of Local Symmetries: Epistemic-Ontological Dialectics
Jordan François, Lucrezia Ravera
We propose our account of the meaning of local symmetries. We argue that the general covariance principle and gauge principle both are principles of democratic epistemic access to…
Cartan geometry, supergravity, and group manifold approach
J. François, L. Ravera
We make a case for the unique relevance of Cartan geometry for gauge theories of gravity and supergravity. We introduce our discussion by recapitulating historical threads, providi…
