Conformal linear gravity in de Sitter space
arXiv:0903.5249 · doi:10.1063/1.3321581
Abstract
It has been shown that the theory of linear conformal quantum gravity must include a tensor field of rank-3 and mixed symmetry [1]. In this paper, we obtain the corresponding field equation in de Sitter space. Then, in order to relate this field with the symmetric tensor field of rank-2, $\K_{αβ}$ related to graviton, we will define homomorphisms between them. Our main result is that if one insists $\K_{αβ}$ to be a unitary irreducible representation of de Sitter and conformal groups it must satisfy a filed equation of order 6, which is obtained.
