Duality invariance of all free bosonic and fermionic gauge fields
S. Deser, D. Seminara
We give a simple general extension to all free bosonic and fermionic massless gauge fields of a recent proof that spin 2 is duality invariant in flat space. We also discuss its val…
Self-Interaction and Gauge Invariance
S. Deser
A simple unified closed form derivation of the non-linearities of the Einstein, Yang-Mills and spinless (e.g., chiral) meson systems is given. For the first two, the non-linearitie…
Schwarzschild and Birkhoff a la Weyl
S. Deser, J. Franklin
We provide a simple derivation of the Schwarzschild solution in General Relativity, generalizing an early approach by Weyl, to include Birkhoff's theorem: constancy of the mass; it…
Cotton Blend Gravity Waves
S. Deser, R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi
We study conformal gravity in d=2+1, where the Cotton tensor is equated to a--necessarily traceless--matter stress tensor, for us that of the improved scalar field. We first solve…
The Dynamics of General Relativity
R. Arnowitt, S. Deser, C. W. Misner
This article--summarizing the authors' then novel formulation of General Relativity--appeared as Chapter 7 of an often cited compendium edited by L. Witten in 1962, which is now lo…
Shortcuts to Spherically Symmetric Solutions: A Cautionary Note
S. Deser, J. Franklin, B. Tekin
Spherically symmetric solutions of generic gravitational models are optimally, and legitimately, obtained by expressing the action in terms of the two surviving metric components.…
