PCT, Spin, Lagrangians

چکیده
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 means: What are the problems left over to the younger generations? I’ll show you that a.o. it fails in its Lagrangian formalism, its postulate of positivity of energy, I’ll show the uselessness of the uncertainty principle as to electromagnetic fields, and we’ll see that there are serious doubts as to its conception of the photonic nature of electromagnetic fields, which a simple experiment could test against.

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...

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...

We study Lagrangians with the minimal amount of gauge symmetry required to propagate spin-two particles without ghosts or tachyons. In general, these Lagrangians also have a scalar mode in their spectrum. We find that, in two cases, the symmetry can be enhanced to a larger group: the whole group of diffeomorphisms or a enhancement involving a Weyl symmetry. We consider the non-linear completion...
