Non-Pauli-Fierz massive gravitons.
We study general Lorentz invariant theories of massive gravitons. We show that, contrary to the standard lore, there exist consistent theories where the graviton mass term violates Pauli-Fierz structure. For theories where the graviton is a resonance, this does not imply the existence of a scalar ghost if the deviation from a Pauli-Fierz structure becomes sufficiently small at high energies. Th...
متن کاملTransverse Fierz - Pauli symmetry
We consider some flat space theories for spin 2 gravitons, with less invariance than full diffeomorphisms. For the massless case, classical stability and absence of ghosts require invariance under transverse diffeomorphisms (TDiff), hμν 7→ hμν + 2∂(νξμ), with ∂μξ μ = 0. Generic TDiff invariant theories contain a propagating scalar, which disappears if the symmetry is enhanced in one of two ways...
متن کاملMarkovian Properties of the Pauli-fierz Model
The Hamiltonian approach of the Pauli-Fierz model is studied by Derezinski and Jaksic (cf. [7]). In this paper, we give the Markovian description of this model. Using the weak coupling limit, we derive the quantum Markovian semigroup of the Pauli-Fierz system from its Hamiltonian description. Also, we give the explicit form of the associated Lindblad generator. As a consequence, we study the pr...
متن کاملFully Covariant Van Dam - Veltman - Zakharov Discontinuity , and Absence Thereof
In both old and recent literature, it has been argued that the celebrated van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity of massive gravity is an artifact due to linearization of the true equations of motion. In this letter, we investigate that claim. First, we exhibit an explicit –albeit somewhat arbitrary– fully covariant set of equations of motion that, upon linearization, reduce to the stand...
متن کاملRigorous Dynamics and Radiation Theory for a Pauli-fierz Model in the Ultraviolet Limit
The present paper is devoted to the detailed study of quantization and evolution of the point limit of the Pauli-Fierz model for a charged oscillator interacting with the electromagnetic field in dipole approximation. In particular, a well defined dynamics is constructed for the classical model, which is subsequently quantized according to the Segal scheme. To this end, the classical model in t...
