Dual theories for mixed symmetry fields. Spin-two case: \((1,1)\) versus \((2,1)\) Young symmetry type fields. (English) Zbl 0977.81159

Summary: We show that the parent Lagrangian method gives a natural generalization of the dual theories concept for non \(p\)-form fields. Using this generalization we construct here a three-parameter family of Lagrangians that are dual to the Fierz-Pauli description of a free massive spin-two system. The dual field is a three-index tensor \(T_{(\mu\nu)\rho}\), which dynamically belongs to the \((2,1)\) representation of the Lorentz group. As expected, the massless limit of our Lagrangian, which is parameter independent, has two propagating degrees of freedom per space point.
