Quite Discrete for a fermion
read the original abstract
We study Discrete Series representations of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ with half-integer scaling dimension $\Delta$. At the classical level, we show that these UIRs are realised in the space of mode solutions of spinor fields with imaginary mass parameters on a fixed two-dimensional de Sitter, dS$_{2}$, background. Upon such tuning of the mass, the field develops a fermionic shift symmetry that we characterise. We show that in the Euclidean section this manifests itself in the presence of zero-modes which preclude the definition of a Hadamard two-point function for these UIRs. We propose a Euclidean procedure to deal with the zero-modes, define a two-point function with the right singularity structure, and analyse its late-time behaviour. We end this note by proposing two interacting theories containing the fermionic discrete series in their spectrum.

Ising the way into de Sitter
The two-dimensional thermal Ising model on de Sitter provides exact cosmological correlators that stay finite at late times, with perturbative secular logarithms resummed into principal-series oscillations.

Medicine show: A Calogero model with principal series states
A deformed Calogero model accommodates unitary principal series states of sl(2,R) via operator domain changes, preserving unitarity and invariance while altering integrability, with solutions for N=2 and 3.

A discrete series gauge field at the late-time boundary of $dS_4$
Both Δ=1 and Δ=2 late-time Maxwell operators on planar dS4 furnish the photon unitary discrete series of SO(4,1), which splits into opposite-helicity summands via self-dual field-strength sectors.
