Lagrangian Formalism for Tensor Fields
The Lagrangian formalism for tensor fields over differentiable manifolds with different (not only by sign) contravariant and covariant affine connections and a metric [(Ln, g)-spaces] is considered. The functional variation and the Lie variation of a Lagrangian density, depending on components of tensor fields (with finite rank) and their first and second covariant derivatives are established. ...
متن کاملGeometric Formulation for Partially Massless Fields
The manifestly gauge invariant formulation for free symmetric higher-spin partially massless fields in (A)dSd is given in terms of gauge connections and linearized curvatures that take values in the irreducible representations of (o(d−1, 2)) o(d, 1) described by two-row Young tableaux, in which the lengths of the first and second row are, respectively, associated with the spin and depth of part...
متن کاملA generating formulation for free higher spin massless fields
An action describing the dynamics of an infinite collection of massless integer spin fields with spin s = 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., ∞ corresponding to totally symmetric Young tableaux representations of Poincare and anti-de Sitter groups is constructed, in any dimension d, in terms of two functions on a 2d-dimensional manifold. The action is represented by an integral localized on a 2d − 1-dimensional h...
متن کاملMassless fields in scalar-tensor cosmologies.
We derive exact Friedmann–Robertson–Walker cosmological solutions in general scalar–tensor gravity theories, including Brans–Dicke gravity, for stiff matter or radiation. These correspond to the long or short wavelength modes respectively of massless scalar fields. If present, the long wavelength modes of such fields would be expected to dominate the energy density of the universe at early time...
متن کاملGupta-Bleuler quantization for massive and massless free vector fields
It is shown that the usual quantum field theory leads to an ultraviolet divergence in the vacuum energies and an infrared divergence in the two-point functions of the massive and massless vector fields. Using a new method of quantization it is shown that the vacuum energies converge, and the normal ordering procedure is not necessary. Also the propagators are calculated, which are automatically...
