More on dual actions for massive spin-2 particles
Abstract
Here we start from a dual version of Vasiliev's first order action for massless spin-2 particles (linearized first order Einstein-Hilbert) and derive, via Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction from to dimensions, a set of dual massive spin-2 models. This set includes the massive "BR" model, a spin-2 analogue of the spin-1 Cremmer-Scherk model. In our approach the linearized Riemann curvature emerges from a solution of a functional constraint. In the BR model can be written as a linearized version of a new bimetric model for massive gravitons. We also have a new massive spin-2 model, in arbitrary dimensions, invariant under linearized diffeomorphisms. It is given in terms of a non symmetric rank-2 tensor and a mixed symmetry tensor.
