R. Saar et al., 'Dynamical' representation of the Poincare algebra for higher-spin fields in interaction with plane waves, J PHYS A, 32(12), 1999, pp. 2499-2508
To avoid the defects of higher-spin interaction theory, the field-dependent
invariant representation (the 'dynamical' representation) of the Poincare
algebra is considered as a dynamical principle. A general 'dynamical' repre
sentation for a single elementary particle of arbitrary spin in the presenc
e of a plane-wave field is constructed and the corresponding forms of the h
igher-spin interaction terms found. The properties of relativistically inva
riant first-order higher-spin equations with the 'dynamical' interaction ar
e examined. It is shown that the Rarita-Schwinger spin-3/2 equation with th
e 'dynamical' interaction is causal and free from algebraic inconsistencies
, As distinct from the first-order higher-spin relativistic equations with
the minimal coupling, there exist the Klein-Gordon divisors for the first-o
rder equations with the non-minimal, 'dynamical' interaction, and the corre
sponding Klein-Gordon equations are causal.
