New Formulation of Massive Spin Two Field Theory and Solution of vDVZ Discontinuity Problem
Abstract
Description
We present a new massive spin two field theory which has smooth massless limit based on BRS formalism. Our model contains a parameter a which extendes Fierz-Pauli's mass term. Although redundant scalar ghost exists in our model, physical degree of freedom is still five for the sake of existence of the Deser-Waldron type gauge symmetry. Origin of vDVZ discontiunity can be studied at the Fierz-Pauli limit a -> 1.
