متن کاملTree-level unitarity constraints on the gravitational couplings of higher-spin massive fields.
We analyze the high-energy behavior of tree-level graviton Compton amplitudes for particles of mass m and arbitrary spin, concentrating on a combination of forward amplitudes that will be una8'ected by eventual cross couplings to other, higher spins. We first show that for any spin ) 2, tree-level unitarity is already violated at energies v'mMp~, rather than at the Planck scale Mp~, even for m ...
متن کاملConsistent gravitino couplings in non-supersymmetric strings
The massless spectrum of the ten dimensional USp(32) type I string has an N=1 supergravity multiplet coupled to non-supersymmetric matter. This raises the question of the consistency of the gravitino interactions. We resolve this apparent puzzle by arguing for the existence of a local supersymmetry which is non-linearly realised in the open sector. We determine the leading order low energy effe...
متن کاملNovel Properties of Massive Higher Spin Fields
I outline a series of results obtained in collaboration with A. Waldron on the properties of massive higher (s > 1) spin fields in cosmological, constant curvature, backgrounds and the resulting unexpected qualitative effects on their degrees of freedom and unitarity properties. The dimensional parameter Λ extends the flat space m-line to a (m,Λ) “phase” plane in which these novel phenomena unf...
متن کاملGeometric Lagrangians for massive higher-spin fields
Lagrangians for massive, unconstrained, higher-spin bosons and fermions are proposed. The idea is to modify the geometric, gauge invariant Lagrangians describing the corresponding massless theories by the addition of suitable quadratic polynomials. These polynomials provide generalisations of the Fierz-Pauli mass term containing all possible traces of the basic field. No auxiliary fields are ne...
