A Note on S.Weinberg, "Massless Particles in Higher Dimensions"

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-10-15 v1

Abstract

In [1], Weinberg made a conjecture about the little-group representations of massless particles that can be created out of the vacuum by the action of a local operator in dd dimensions, generalizing his old result [2] in d=4d=4. In this note, I prove his conjecture and extend it to arbitrary irreps of so(1,d1)so(1,d-1).
