Quantization of higher-spin fields with indefinite metric

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

Quantization of fields of spins 3/2 and 2 is carried out by decomposing them into simpler fields and using an indefinite metric. In the resulting ghost-field formalism, nonphysical states are eliminated by means of supplementary conditions, and the consistency of these conditions in the presence of interaction is established.
