Kevin Zhou (Stanford) “Electromagnetism and Gravity with Continuous Spin”
–
Abstract: Powerful general arguments allow only a few families of long-range interactions, exemplified by gauge field theories of electromagnetism and gravity. However, all of these arguments presuppose that massless fields have zero spin scale and hence exactly boost invariant helicity. I will present a Lagrangian formalism describing interactions of matter particles with bosonic “continuous spin” fields with arbitrary spin scale. Remarkably, … Read More
