Conformal Fields in Higher Dimensions
We generalize, to any space-time dimension, the unitarity bounds of highest weight UIR’s of the conformal groups with Lie algebras so(2, d). We classify gauge theories invariant under so(2, d), both integral and half-integral spins. A similar analysis is carried out for the algebras so(2n). We study new unitary modules of the conformal algebra in d > 4, that have no analogue for d ≤ 4 as they c...
متن کاملIrreversibility and Higher-spin Conformal Field Theory
I discuss the properties of the central charges c and a for higher-derivative and higher-spin theories (spin 2 included). Ordinary gravity does not admit a straightforward identification of c and a in the trace anomaly, because it is not conformal. On the other hand, higherderivative theories can be conformal, but have negative c and a. A third possibility is to consider higher-spin conformal f...
متن کاملOn conformal higher spin wave operators
We analyze free conformal higher spin actions and the corresponding wave operators in arbitrary even dimensions and backgrounds. We show that the wave operators do not factorize in general, and identify the Weyl tensor and its derivatives as the obstruction to factorization. We give a manifestly factorized form for them on (A)dS backgrounds for arbitrary spin and on Einstein backgrounds for spi...
متن کاملTransverse Invariant Higher Spin Fields
It is shown that a symmetric massless bosonic higher-spin field can be described by a traceless tensor field with reduced (transverse) gauge invariance. The Hamiltonian analysis of the transverse gauge invariant higher-spin models is used to control a number of degrees of freedom.
متن کاملKinematics of Higher-spin Fields
This dissertation argues a quantum theory for higher-spin fields. Causality is discussed in both classical and quantum senses in a field theory. Renormalizability is also considered. Equations of motion are derived from a generalised concept of linearised Christoffel symbols for these higher-spin fields. It is seen that a minimally-coupled Rarita-Schwinger field violates causality, and that sup...
