Factorization of cubic vertices involving three different higher spin fields. (English) Zbl 1325.81119

Summary: We derive a class of cubic interaction vertices for three higher spin fields, with integer spins \(\lambda_1\), \(\lambda_2\), \(\lambda_3\), by closing commutators of the Poincaré algebra in four-dimensional flat spacetime. We find that these vertices exhibit an interesting factorization property which allows us to identify off-shell perturbative relations between them.
