Summary

Making use of the small-excitation technique, we study the content of the physical massive tensor field which enters in the 2-tensor theory formulated by Isham, Salam and Strathdee. It is shown that the physical massive field contains, in general, a pure spin-2 field and one spin-0 field. By employing the ADM techniques, the sign of the energy for the free massive field is also analysed. Finally, we give the asymptotic behaviour for the spherically symmetric static free massive field. We also discuss the behaviour of this solution in the vicinity of the source.

Riassunto

Facendo uso della tecnica delle piccole eccitazioni, si studia il contenuto del campo tensoriale fisico con massa che interviene nella teoria dei 2 tensori formulata da Isham, Salam e Strathdee. Si dimostra che il campo fisico con massa contiene in generale un campo puro di spin 2 e un campo di spin 0. Facendo uso delle tecniche di ADM, si studia anche il segno dell'energia del campo libero con massa. Infine si riporta il comportamento asintotico del campo libero, statico, a simmetria sferica, con massa. Si discute anche il comportamento di questa soluzione in prossimità della sorgente.

Резюме

Используя технику малых возбуждений, мы исследуем содержание физического массивного тензорного поля, которое входит в 2-тензорную теорию, сформулированную Ищемом, Саламом и Стратди. Показывается, что физическое массивное поле содержит, в общем случае, чистое поле со спином 2 и поле со спином 0. Используя технику ADM, также проводится анализ знака энергии для свободного массивного поля. Наконес, мы приводим асимптотическое поведение для сферически симметричного статического свободного массивного поля. Мы также обсуждаем поведение зтого решения вблизи источника.
