Helicity, spin, and infra-zilch of light: A Lorentz covariant formulation

نویسندگان

چکیده

In this paper, a novel conserved Lorentz covariant tensor, termed the helicity is introduced in Maxwell theory. The conservation of tensor expresses laws contained array, by Cameron et al., including helicity, spin, and spin-flux or infra-zilch. covariance contrast to previous formulations hierarchy laws, which required non-Lorentz transverse gauge. shown arise as Noether current for variational symmetry duality-symmetric Lagrangian This transformation generalizes duality includes underlying spin part angular momentum.

Lorentz Covariant Spin Two Superspaces

Superalgebras including generators having spins up to two and realisable as tangent vector fields on Lorentz covariant generalised superspaces are considered. The latter have a representation content reminiscent of configuration spaces of (super)gravity theories. The most general canonical supercommutation relations for the corresponding phase space coordinates allowed by Lorentz covariance are...

Reality conditions for Ashtekar gravity from Lorentz-covariant formulation

We show the equivalence of the Lorentz-covariant canonical formulation considered for the Immirzi parameter β = i to the selfdual Ashtekar gravity. We also propose to deal with the reality conditions in terms of Dirac brackets derived from the covariant formulation and defined on an extended phase space which involves, besides the selfdual variables, also their anti-selfdual counterparts.

Lorentz-covariant Hamiltonian Formalism

The dynamic of a classical system can be expressed by means of Poisson brackets. In this paper we generalize the relation between the usual non covariant Hamiltonian and the Poisson brackets to a covariant Hamiltonian and new brackets in the frame of the Minkowski space. These brackets can be related to those used by Feynman in his derivation of Maxwell's equations. The case of curved space is ...

A Covariant Method for Calculating Helicity Amplitudes

We present an alternative approach for calculating helicity amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this method one can easily obtain covariant expressions for the helicity amplitudes. The final expressions involve only four vector products and are independent of the basis for gamma matrices or specific form of the spinors. We use the method to obtain the hel...
