Abstract

A new interpretation of Dirac singletons \cite{Dirac:1963ta}, i.e. free conformal fields in dd dimensions, as relativistic fields in a d+1d+1-dimensional space-time with cosmological constant, that differs from the Flato-Fronsdal dipole construction in AdSd+1AdS_{d+1} \cite{Flato:1986uh}, is proposed. The d+1d+1-dimensional field is described at the level of both equations and Lagrangian. It forms an infinite-dimensional representation of the d+1d+1-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 d+1{d+1} dimensions, hence being unobservable via local scattering/radiation phenomena in the Standard Model (d=3d=3). On the other hand, that singleton respects d+1{d+1} dimensional relativistic symmetries makes it possible to introduce its interactions with gravity and other relativistic fields in d+1d+1 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.
