Dirac Singleton as a Relativistic Field Beyond Standard Model
Abstract
A new interpretation of Dirac singletons \cite{Dirac:1963ta}, i.e. free conformal fields in dimensions, as relativistic fields in a -dimensional space-time with cosmological constant, that differs from the Flato-Fronsdal dipole construction in \cite{Flato:1986uh}, is proposed. The -dimensional field is described at the level of both equations and Lagrangian. It forms an infinite-dimensional representation of the -dimensional Lorentz group that relates fields at different space-time points. The associated well-known fact is that singleton cannot be localized at a point in dimensions, hence being unobservable via local scattering/radiation phenomena in the Standard Model (). On the other hand, that singleton respects dimensional relativistic symmetries makes it possible to introduce its interactions with gravity and other relativistic fields in dimensions. It is speculated that the presence of singleton in a four-dimensional field theory with non-zero cosmological constant (dark energy) can be relevant to the dark matter phenomenon and baryon asymmetry generation.
