A Model Independent Ultraviolet Cutoff for Theories with Charged Massive Higher Spin Fields
Massimo Porrati, Rakibur Rahman
We argue that the theory of a massive higher spin field coupled to electromagnetism in flat space possesses an intrinsic, model independent, finite upper bound on its UV cutoff. By…
Electromagnetically Interacting Massive Spin-2 Field: Intrinsic Cutoff and Pathologies in External Fields
Massimo Porrati, Rakibur Rahman
By employing the Stueckelberg formalism, we argue that the theory of massive spin-2 field coupled to electromagnetism in flat space must have an intrinsic, model independent, finit…
Universal Limits on Massless High-Spin Particles
M. Porrati
We present a model-independent argument showing that massless particles interacting with gravity in a Minkowski background space can have at most spin two. This result is proven by…
Intrinsic Cutoff and Acausality for Massive Spin 2 Fields Coupled to Electromagnetism
M. Porrati, R. Rahman
We couple a massive spin 2 particle to electromagnetism. By introducing new, redundant degrees of freedom using the Stueckelberg formalism, we extract an intrinsic, model independe…
