Gauge Invariances and Phases of Massive Higher Spins in (Anti-) de Sitter Space
Open accessAbstract
The (m2,Lambda) plane of spin s>1 massive fields in (anti-) de Sitter space backgrounds is shown to consist of separate phases, divided by lines of novel "partially massless" gauge theories that successively remove helicities, starting from the lowest, 0 or +/-1/2. The norms of the excluded states flip as the gauge lines are crossed and only the region containing the massive Minkowski theory is unitary. The partially massless gauge theories are unitary or not, depending on the ordering of the gauge lines. This "level splitting" of massless Minkowski gauge theories is specific to nonzero Lambda.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
