THE GRAVITATIONAL ZERO MASS LIMIT OF SPIN-2 PARTICLES

Journal Article · · Arkiv Fysik
OSTI ID:4228762
Relativistic theory is investigated for the spin-2 particle case, where the components of the wave function of a Dirac equation are the components of a symmetric tensor of second rank and of a vector. A most general mass term, compatible with the covariance of the Dirac equation, is used to obtain the linearized Einstein equations for the gravitational field as a zero mass limit. (C.J.G.)
