Massless Particles and Fields ”
Free fields of massless particles transforming covariantly under the Poincare group are constructed. The allowed infinite and finite dimensional representations of the Lorentz group are obtained. The wave functions are calculated in these representations in various bases u The commutation rules are computed, and turn out to be non-local for any infinite dimens ional fields. The transformation l...
متن کاملUniversal Limits on Massless High-Spin Particles
We present a model-independent argument showing that massless particles interacting with gravity in a Minkowski background space can have at most spin two. This result is proven by extending a famous theorem due to Weinberg and Witten to theories that do not possess a gauge-invariant stress-energy tensor.
متن کاملAnomalies without massless particles.
Baryon and lepton number in the standard model are violated by anomalies, even though the fermions are massive. This problem is studied in the context of a two dimensional model. In a uniform background field, fermion production arise from non-adiabatic behavior that compensates for the absence of massless modes. On the other hand, for localized instanton-like configurations, there is an adiaba...
متن کاملDecoupling of Supersymmetric Particles
The possibility of a heavy supersymmetric spectrum at the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is considered and the decoupling from the low energy electroweak scale is analyzed in detail. The formal proof of decoupling of supersymmetric particles from low energy physics is stated in terms of the effective action for the particles of the Standard Model that results by integrating out all the s...
متن کاملMassive Particles from Massless Spinors
Spinors are lightlike. How do they combine to make massive particles? We visit the zoo of Lagrangian singularities, or caustics, in spacetime projections from spin spacethe phase space of lightlike, 8spinor flows. We find that the species living there are the elementary particles. Codimension J = (1, 2, 3, 4) phase singularities vortex lines, sheets, tubes, and knots, are classified by the Coxe...
