Massless particles of any spin obey linear equations of motion
Bojan Gornik, Norma Mankoc Borstnik
TL;DR
This paper proves that Poincare symmetry uniquely determines linear equations of motion for massless particles of any spin in even-dimensional spaces.
Contribution
It establishes a general proof that Poincare invariance constrains massless particles' equations of motion across all spins in 2n-dimensional spaces.
Findings
Massless particles' equations are linear in momentum.
Poincare symmetry fully determines these equations.
Applicable to particles of any spin in even dimensions.
Abstract
The proof is presented that the Poincare symmetry determines the equations of motion for massless particles of any spin in 2n-dimensional spaces, which are linear in the momentum.
