Abstract

We constructed all possible kinematically allowed three-point interactions of two massless Dirac spinors with massive higher-spin bosons. In any DD spacetime, the interactions have been constructed using the projections of the higher spin irreducible representations of Spin(D1)Spin(D-1) over the product of two irreducible spinor representations of Spin(D2)Spin(D-2). Based on this analysis, we have further classified the space of theories involving two massless Dirac spinors and a single (or multiple) massive higher spin(s) based on the discrete symmetries: C,R,C,\, R, and T T. We found that in any D=2m+1/2mD=2m+1/2m, the interacting theories of a single massive higher spin have a \enquote{mm} mod 22 (or DD mod 44) classification.
