In this work we show that a relativistic spinning particle can be described at the classical and the quantum level as being composed of two physical constituents which are entangled and separated by a fixed distance. This bilocal model for spinning particles allows for a natural description of particle interactions as a local interaction at each of the constituents. This form of the interaction vertex provides a resolution to a long standing issue on the nature of relativistic interactions for…

We introduce and develop the theory of metaparticles. At the classical level, this is a world-line theory with the usual reparameterization invariance and two additional features. The theory is

An Exploration of Locality, Conservation Laws, and Spin

Conservation rules are central to our understanding of the physical world, they place restrictions on how particles can move and dictate what can occur during an interaction. However, it is often

It is demonstrated that the principal tensor can be used as a “seed object” which generates all these symmetries of higher-dimensional Kerr–NUT–(A)dS black hole spacetimes and the review contains a discussion of different applications of the developed formalism and its possible generalizations.
