Field equations of arbitrary spin in space-time with torsion / Antonio Zecca. - In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS. - ISSN 0020-7748. - 46:4(2007), pp. 1045-1054.
Abstract:
A two spinor lagrangian formulation of field equations for massive particle of arbitrary spin is proposed in a curved space-time
with torsion. The interaction between fields and torsion is expressed by generalizing the
situation of the Dirac equation. The resulting field equations are different
(except for the spin-1/2 case) from those obtained by promoting the covariant derivatives of the torsion free equations to include torsion. The non linearity of the equations, that is induced by torsion, can be
interpreted as a self-interaction of the particle. The spin-1 and spin-3/2 cases are studied with some details by translating into tensor form. There result the Proca and Rarita-Schwinger field equations with torsion, respectively.
