- Description
- We give a complete self-contained presentation of the description of spin-two fields using Fierz variables <math> A_ {\alpha \beta \mu}\,\!</math> instead of the conventional standard approach which deals with second order symmetric tensor <math>\phi _{\mu \nu} \,\!</math>. After a short review of the classical properties of the Fierz field we present the quantization procedure. The theory presents a striking similitude with electrodynamics which induced us to follow analogy with the Fermi-Gupta-Breuler scheme of quantization.
