- Descripción
- We present a complete theory of massive and massless spin-two field using Fierz variables <math>A{_\alpha} {_\beta} {_\mu} \,\!</math>; its relationship with the standard variable <math>\psi {_\mu} {_\nu }\,\! </math> and the bridge relation which allows the passage from one representation to the other. We develop the Hamiltonian formalism for both the massive and the massless cases. The theory thus presented is nothing but Einstein's General Relativity in the Jordan-Lichnerowicz formulation. We then discuss an unification program in which a new short-range force is postulated. This force becomes the local counterpart of gravity in the same way we can think that weak interaction is the short-range counterpart of electrodynamics.
