Massive Fields of Arbitrary Integer Spin in Symmetrical Einstein Space

We study the propagation of gauge fields with arbitrary integer spins in the symmetrical Einstein space of any dimensionality. We reduce the problem of obtaining a gauge-invariant Lagrangian of integer spin fields in such background to an purely algebraic problem of finding a set of operators with certain features using the representation of high-spin fields in the form of some vectors of pseudo-Hilbert space. We consider such construction in the linear order in the Riemann tensor and scalar curvature and also present an explicit form of interaction Lagrangians and gauge transformations for massive particles with spins 1 and 2 in terms of symmetrical tensor fields.Comment: 15 pages, latex, no figures,minor change

Gravitational and higher-derivative interactions of massive spin 5/2 field in (A)dS space

Using on-shell gauge invariant formulation of relativistic dynamics we study interaction vertices for a massive spin 5/2 Dirac field propagating in (A)dS space of dimension greater than or equal to four. Gravitational interaction vertex for the massive spin 5/2 field and all cubic vertices for the massive spin 5/2 field and massless spin 2 field with two and three derivatives are obtained. In dimension greater that four, we demonstrate that the gravitational vertex of the massive spin 5/2 field involves, in addition to the standard minimal gravitational vertex, contributions with two and three derivatives. We find that for the massive spin 5/2 and massless spin 2 fields one can build two higher-derivative vertices with two and three derivatives. Limits of massless and partial massless spin 5/2 fields in (A)dS space and limits of massive and massless spin 5/2 fields in flat space are discussed.Comment: 51 pages, LaTeX-2e, v3: Section 1 is divided into Sections 1-6.

On spin 2 electromagnetic interactions

In this paper we (re)consider the problem of electromagnetic interactions for massless spin 2 particles and show that in $(A)dS$ spaces with non-zero cosmological constant it is indeed possible (at least in linear approximation) to switch on minimal electromagnetic interactions supplemented by third derivative non-minimal ones which are necessary to restore gauge invariance.Comment: 5 pages, no figure

Nonlinear holomorphic supersymmetry, Dolan-Grady relations and Onsager algebra

Recently, it was noticed by us that the nonlinear holomorphic supersymmetry of order $n\in\N, n>1$, ($n$-HSUSY) has an algebraic origin. We show that the Onsager algebra underlies $n$-HSUSY and investigate the structure of the former in the context of the latter. A new infinite set of mutually commuting charges is found which, unlike those from the Dolan-Grady set, include the terms quadratic in the Onsager algebra generators. This allows us to find the general form of the superalgebra of $n$-HSUSY and fix it explicitly for the cases of $n=2,3,4,5,6$. The similar results are obtained for a new, contracted form of the Onsager algebra generated via the contracted Dolan-Grady relations. As an application, the algebraic structure of the known 1D and 2D systems with $n$-HSUSY is clarified and a generalization of the construction to the case of nonlinear pseudo-supersymmetry is proposed. Such a generalization is discussed in application to some integrable spin models and with its help we obtain a family of quasi-exactly solvable systems appearing in the $PT$-symmetric quantum mechanics.Comment: 18 pages, refs updated; to appear in Nucl.
