Solutions of massless spin-2 field equations are written in terms of massless spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ Rarita-Schwinger fields and twistor spinors. It is shown that the proposed massless spin-2 fields satisfy the tracelessness and…
Rarita-Schwinger fields are solutions to the relativistic field equation of spin-$3/2$ fermions in four dimensional flat spacetime, which are important in supergravity and superstring theories. Bure\v s et al. generalized it to arbitrary…
The Rarita-Schwinger operator is the twisted Dirac operator restricted to 3/2-spinors. Rarita-Schwinger fields are solutions of this operator which are in addition divergence-free. This is an overdetermined problem and solutions are rare;…
We have found two non-trivial massless Dirac and two massive Rarita-Schwinger solutions in plane wave spacetimes. The first order symmetry operator transforming one of the massless Dirac solution to the other is constructed. The only…
This paper studies the two-spinor form of the Rarita-Schwinger potentials subject to local boundary conditions compatible with local supersymmetry. The massless Rarita-Schwinger field equations are studied in four-real-dimensional…
We construct the Rarita-Schwinger basis vectors, $U^\mu$, spanning the direct product space, $U^\mu:=A^\mu\otimes u_M$, of a massless four-vector, $ A^\mu $, with massless Majorana spinors, $u_M$, together with the associated field-strength…
In previous two articles we postulated that field equations for arbitrary spin and helicity are Casimir eigenvalue equations. In massive case, from such principle equation, we derived spin-$0$ Klein-Gordon, spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Dirac and…
We suggest simple method to solve wave equation for Rarita--Schwinger field without additional constraints. This method based on use of off-shell projection operators allows to diagonalize spin-1/2 sector of the field.
Counting the degrees of freedom of the massless Rarita-Schwinger theory is revisited using Behrends-Fronsdal projectors. The identification of the gauge invariant part of the vector-spinor is thus straightforward, consisting of spins 1/2…
This paper studies the two-spinor form of the Rarita-Schwinger potentials subject to local boundary conditions compatible with local supersymmetry. The massless Rarita-Schwinger field equations are studied in four-real-dimensional…
The Rarita-Schwinger-Seiberg-Witten (RS-SW) equations are defined similarly to the classical Seiberg-Witten equations, where a geometric non-Dirac-type operator replaces the Dirac operator called the Rarita-Schwinger operator. In dimension…
In this paper, we establish basic material for future investigations of the analysis and geometry of the twistor bundle, and of differential operators with the twistor bundle as source and/or target, especially the Rarita-Schwinger…
Here we define Rarita-Schwinger operators on cylinders and construct their fundamental solutions. Further the fundamental solutions to the cylindrical Rarita-Schwinger type operators are achieved by applying translation groups. In turn, a…
We present explicit formulas for the spectra of higher spin operators on the subbundle of the bundle of spinor-valued trace free symmetric tensors that are annihilated by the Clifford multiplication over the standard sphere in odd…
The Rarita-Schwinger equations are generalised for the delta baryon having spin 3/2 and isospin 3/2. The coupling of the nucleon and the delta fields is studied. A possible generalisation of the Walecka model is proposed.
In this paper, we investigate an alternative formulation for spin 3/2 field equation. First we will review equation of motion of Dirac and Maxwell, and then construct the equation for spin 3/2 in the similar fashion. Our method actually a…
In this paper we deal with Rarita-Schwinger type operators on spheres and real projective space. First we define the spherical Rarita-Schwinger type operators and construct their fundamental solutions. Then we establish that the projection…
Local boundary conditions involving field strengths and the normal to the boundary, originally studied in anti-de Sitter space-time, have been recently considered in one-loop quantum cosmology. This paper derives the conditions under which…
In this paper we study a generalization of the classical Rarita-Schwinger type operators and construct their fundamental solutions. We give some basic integral formulas related to these operators. We also establish that the projection…
Rarita-Schwinger equation plays an important role in theoretical physics. Bure\v s et al. generalized it to arbitrary spin $k/2$ in 2002 in the context of Clifford algebras. In this article, we introduce the mean value property, Cauchy's…
