A Gauge Field Theory for Continuous Spin Tachyons

Abstract

We present a gauge field theory for the continuous spin tachyonic representation of the Poincaré group. It was obtained by a dimensional reduction of a complex gauge field theory for a continuous spin particle in a cotangent bundle over Minkowski space-time. Some cubic vertices are also presented and their properties discussed. In the massless limit it reduces to a gauge theory for a continuous spin particle with a global $U(1)$ symmetry.
