A Lagrangian that generalizes the Dirac spin t Lagrangian is given. This contains up to 2jth order derivatives for spin j, but can be readily quantized for free fields. Noether's theorem is generalized and the results are shown to conform with other known quantization procedures for arbitrary spin particles. Use of the higher derivative Lagrangian overcomes some of the difficulties encountered by others in rigorously deriving a covariant Feynman propagator.

A construction of massive free fields with arbitrary spin and reversed spin-statistics relation is presented. The main idea of the construction is to consider fields that transform according to representations of the Lorentz group that are doubled in comparison with the representations according to which normal (physical) fields transform. This allows the definition of opposite commutation properties for these fields, while the spin of the particles they describe remains unchanged. The correspondence established by the construction between fields obeying normal and reversed spin-statistics relation makes it possible to express e.g. the polarization states, (anti)commutators, or Feynman propagators of the latter fields in terms of those of the normal fields to which they correspond. The cases of the scalar and Dirac fields are discussed in additional detail.

Following a procedure recently utilized by Accioly et al. to obtain the D-dimensional interparticle potential energy for electromagnetic models in the nonrelativistic limit, and relaxing the condition assumed by the authors concerning the conservation of the external current, the prescription found out by them is generalized so that dual models can also be contemplated. Specific models in which the interaction is mediated by a spin-0 particle described first by a vector field and then by a higher-derivative vector field, are analyzed. Systems mediated by spin-1 particles described, respectively, by symmetric rank-2 tensors, symmetric rank-2 tensors augmented by higher derivatives and antisymmetric rank-2 tensors, are considered as well.

In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for variational problems with Caputo partial fractional derivative are established. Fractional Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained. The Legendre condition and Noether’s theorem are also presented.
