Spinor helicity structures in higher spin theories

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

It is shown that the coefficient of the cubic interaction vertex, in higher spin Lagrangians, has a very simple form when written in terms of spinor helicity products. The result for a higher-spin field, of spin λλ, is equal to the corresponding Yang-Mills coefficient raised to the power λλ. Among other things, this suggests perturbative ties, similar to the KLT relations, between higher spin theories and pure Yang-Mills. This result is obtained in four-dimensional flat spacetime.
