Generalized Weinberg-Tucker-Hammer equations in the Petiau-Duffin-Kemmer form

Abstract

Massive and massless vector particles, in the framework of generalized Weinberg-Tucker-Hammer equations, are considered in the Petiau-Duffin-Kemmer formalism. We obtain solutions of equations in the form of matrix-dyads. The Lagrangian is defined in the matrix form and the conserved electric current and the energy-momentum tensor are obtained. The canonical quantization is performed and the propagator of massive fields is found in the formalism considered.
