Light-cone formalism for a point particle in a higher-spin background

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-08-23 v2

Abstract

We study propagation of a point particle in a massless higher-spin background employing the light-cone gauge approach. We find the point particle action and the associated phase space Poincare charges at the leading order in higher-spin fields. We also compare our results with the analogous covariant results available in the literature.
