Mixed-Symmetry Massless Fields in Minkowski space Unfolded
نویسنده
چکیده
The unfolded formulation for arbitrary massless mixed-symmetry bosonic and fermionic fields in Minkowski space is constructed. The unfolded form is proved to be uniquely determined by the requirement that all gauge symmetries are manifest. The unfolded equations have the form of a covariant constancy condition. The gauge fields and gauge parameters are differential forms with values in certain irreducible Lorentz tensors. The unfolded equations for bosons determine completely those for fermions. The proposed unfolded formulation also contains dual formulations for massless mixed-symmetry fields.

Frame-like Actions for Massless Mixed-Symmetry Fields in Minkowski space
A frame-like action for arbitrary mixed-symmetry bosonic massless fields in Minkowski space is constructed. The action is given in a simple form and consists of two terms for a field of any spin. The fields and gauge parameters are certain tensor-valued differential forms. The formulation is based on the unfolded form of equations for mixed-symmetry fields.
متن کاملHOW MASSLESS ARE MASSLESS FIELDS IN AdSd
Massless fields of generic Young symmetry type in AdSd space are analyzed. It is demonstrated that in contrast to massless fields in Minkowski space whose physical degrees of freedom transform in irreps of o(d−2) algebra, AdS massless mixed symmetry fields reduce to a number of irreps of o(d− 2) algebra. From the field theory perspective this means that not every massless field in flat space ad...

A recent complete, explicit classification of all locally constructed symmetries and currents for free spinorial massless spin s fields on Minkowski space is summarized and extended to give a classification of all covariant symmetry operators and conserved tensors. The results, for physically interesting cases, are also presented in tensorial form for electromagnetic and graviton fields (s = 1,...
متن کاملdS/CFT Correspondence from a Holographic Description of Massless Scalar Fields in Minkowski Space-Time
We study a one-to-one map between massless scalar fields on d+1 dimensional Minkowski (Euclidean) space time and scalar fields on d+1 dimensional De Sitter (Euclidean AdS) space. We solve the Klein-Gordon equation for massless scalar field in terms of initial data on the hypersurface t=0 which is isomorphic to the boundary of dS (AdS) space. By inserting these solutions into the action of massl...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Higher Spin Models in Three Dimensional Spaces
We review the component Lagrangian construction of the supersymmetric higher spin models in three-dimensional (3D) Minkowski and anti de Sitter (AdS) spaces. The approach is based on the frame-like gauge-invariant formulation, where massive higher spin fields are realized through a system of massless ones. We develop a supersymmetric generalization of this formulation to the Lagrangian construc...
