摘要：

Free quantized massless field theories of arbitrary spin L are investigated. The transverse potential in the radiation gauge is shown to transform as a nonunitary infinite-dimensional representation of the Lorentz group: (L,A 1)a(L,A -1) for integer spin and (L+12,A 32)a(L+12,A -32) for integer +1/2 spin (Gel'fand and Shapiro's notation). Using Lorentz group theory, it is argued that free quantized massless field theories of spin >1 do not possess a stress-energy tensor Tμν. © 1968 The American Physical Society.
