The particle content of the Singh-Hagen model (SH) in D dimensions is revisited. We suggest a complete set of spin-projection operators acting on totally symmetric rank-3 fields. We give a general expression for the propagator and determine the coefficients of the SH model confirming previous results of the literature. Adding source terms, we provide a unitarity analysis in D dimensions. In addition, we have also analyzed the positivity of the massless Hamiltonian.

We show that, in the framework of covariant Hamiltonian field theory, a degenerate almost regular quadratic Lagrangian L admits a complete set of non-degenerate Hamiltonian forms such that solutions of the corresponding Hamilton equations, which live in the Lagrangian constraint space, exhaust solutions of the Euler–Lagrange equations for L. We obtain the characteristic splittings of the configuration and momentum phase bundles. Due to the corresponding projection operators, the Koszul–Tate resolution of the Lagrangian constraints for a generic almost regular quadratic Lagrangian is constructed in an explicit form.

The generalized Dirac equation of the third order, describing particles with spin 1/2 and three mass states, is analyzed. We obtain the first-order generalized Dirac equation in the 24-dimensional matrix form. The mass and spin projection operators are found that extract solutions of the wave equation corresponding to pure spin states of particles. The density of the electromagnetic current is obtained, and minimal and nonminimal(anomalous) electromagnetic interactions of fermions are considered by introducing three phenomenological parameters. The Hamiltonian form of the first-order equation is obtained.PACS Nos.: 03.65.Pm, 11.10.Ef; 12.10.Kt

Abstract Recently a new model has been proposed to describe free massive spin-2 particles in D dimensions in terms of a non symmetric rank-2 tensor eµν and a mixed symmetry tensor Bµ[αβ]. The model is invariant under linearized diffeomorphisms without Stueckelberg fields. It resembles a spin-2 version of the topologically massive spin-1 BF model (Cremmer-Scherk model). Here we apply the Dirac-Bergmann procedure in order to identify all Hamiltonian constraints and perform a complete counting of degrees of freedom. In D = 3 + 1 we find 5 degrees of freedom corresponding to helicities ±2, ±1, 0 as expected. The positivity of the reduced Hamiltonian is proved by using spin projection operators. We have also proposed a parent action that establishes the duality between the Fierz-Pauli and the new model. The equivalence between gauge invariant correlation functions of both theories is demonstrated.
