Spin 3/2 in the Causal Approach

Abstract

We consider the general framework of perturbative quantum field theory for the pure Yang-Mills model developped in [10] and consider the coupling with spin 3/2 particles. We will derive the most general form of the interaction with pure Yang-Mills particles and with the spin $2$ field. The expressions for the interactions are obtained, as in the pure Yang-Mills case, using gauge invariance in the first order of the perturbation theory. Further constrains are obtained using gauge invariance in the second order of the perturbation theory. For the coupling of spin $3/2$ with spin $1$ particles, we obtain some natural restrictions on the coupling. For coupling of spin $3/2$ with spin $2$ particles, we get a negative result: such a coupling is not possible in the causal approach.
