AI总结:

本文提出仅用两个对称场描述任意整数自旋无质量粒子的无约束局域作用量,通过类 Weyl 对称性和 Stueckelberg 场规避 Fronsdal 约束,并验证了其与弦场论及非局域作用量的一致性。

摘要:

本文提出一个新的局域作用量,仅用两个对称场 φ 和 α(秩分别为 s 和 (s-3))描述任意整数自旋 s 的无质量粒子。这是 Fronsdal 理论的无约束版本,其中物理场上的双重无迹约束通过一个秩为 (s-4) 的类 Weyl 对称性得以规避。通过适当的场重定义,受约束的高自旋微分同胚借助 Stueckelberg 场 α 被扩大为完全微分同胚。在部分规范固定(保持微分同胚而破缺 Weyl 对称性)之后,场方程对任意整数自旋 s 重现了此前通过在无张力极限下截断开玻色弦场论谱所得到的微分同胚不变运动方程。在 s=4 情形中,我们证明对 α 的泛函积分导致一个唯一的非局域 Weyl 和微分同胚不变作用量,该作用量仅用物理场 φ 表示,其谱通过对自旋-4 传播子解析结构的分析得到确认,为此我们引入了一组完备的投影与跃迁非局域微分算子基。我们还证明,在 Weyl 规范固定后消去 α 可得到文献中先前获得的非局域微分同胚不变作用量。

英文摘要:

Here we suggest a new local action describing arbitrary integer spin-$s$ massless particles in terms of only two symmetric fields $φ$ and $α$ of rank-$s$ and $(s-3)$ respectively. It is an unconstrained version of the Fronsdal theory where the double traceless constraint on the physical field is evaded via a rank-$(s-4)$ Weyl like symmetry. The constrained higher spin diffeomorphism is enlarged to full diffeomorphism via the Stueckelberg field $α$ through an appropriate field redefinition. After a partial gauge fixing where the Weyl symmetry is broken while preserving diffeomorphisms, the field equations reproduce, for arbitrary integer spin-$s$, diffeomorphism invariant equations of motion previously obtained via a truncation of the spectrum of the open bosonic string field theory in the tensionless limit. In the $s=4$ case we show that the functional integration over $α$ leads to a unique non local Weyl and diffeomorphism invariant action given only in terms of the physical field $φ$ whose spectrum is confirmed via an analysis of the analytic structure of the spin-4 propagator for which we introduce a complete basis of projection and transition non local differential operators. We also show that the elimination of $α$ after the Weyl gauge fixing leads to a non local diffeomorphism invariant action previously obtained in the literature.
