Geometric Lagrangians for massive higher-spin fields
Lagrangians for massive, unconstrained, higher-spin bosons and fermions are proposed. The idea is to modify the geometric, gauge invariant Lagrangians describing the corresponding massless theories by the addition of suitable quadratic polynomials. These polynomials provide generalisations of the Fierz-Pauli mass term containing all possible traces of the basic field. No auxiliary fields are ne...
متن کاملPCT, Spin, Lagrangians
This is the first part of a paper, in which I invite you to take a step aside current quantum field theory (QFT): QFT has been said to be ”well-established” since the 80’s of the last century by its foremost theorists (see: [10, p.iv]), and the majority of physicists consider it to be essentially complete since the discovery of the Higgs particle. It will be interesting to see, what that really...
متن کاملEffective chiral Lagrangians for spin-1 mesons
The commonly used types of effective theory for vector mesons are reviewed and their relationships clarified. They are shown to correspond to different choices of field for spin-1 particles and the rules for transforming between them are described. The importance of respecting chiral symmetry is stressed. The choice of fields that transform homogeneously under the nonlinear realisation of chira...
متن کاملPCT, Spin, Lagrangians, Part II
I promised a second part. Here it is. I hesitated, because I don’t like being destructive, and unfortunately, to deal with the current state of affairs in quantum theory means just doing this: I show you that the current gauge theory is fundamentally ill-designed, along with it fall Weinberg model and Wightman theory. 1. Continuing with the Lagrangian Formalism Let me continue from where I left...
متن کاملString-like Lagrangians from a generalized geometry
This note will use Hitchin’s generalized geometry and a model of axionic gravity developed by Warren Siegel in the mid-nineties to show that the construction of Lagrangians based on the inner product arising from the pairing of a vector and its dual can lead naturally to the low-energy Lagrangian of the bosonic string. PACS numbers: 02.40.-k, 04.20.-q, 11.25.-w String theory is one of the most ...
