The Square-Root Isometry of Coupled Quadratic Spaces : On the relation between vielbein and metric formulations of spin-2 interactions

Bimetric theory is an extension to general relativity that introduces a secondary symmetric rank-two tensor field. This secondary spin-2 field is also dynamical, and to avoid the Boulware-Deser ghost issue, the interaction between the two fields is obtained through a potential that involes the matri...

The Square-Root Isometry of Coupled Quadratic Spaces : On the relation between vielbein and metric formulations of spin-2 interactions
description Bimetric theory is an extension to general relativity that introduces a secondary symmetric rank-two tensor field. This secondary spin-2 field is also dynamical, and to avoid the Boulware-Deser ghost issue, the interaction between the two fields is obtained through a potential that involes the matrix square-root of the tensors. This square-root “quantity” is a linear transformation, herein referred to as the square-root isometry. In this work we explore the conditions for the existence of the square-root isometry and its group properties. Morever we study the conditions for the simultaneous 3+1 decomposition of two fields, and then, in terms of null-cones, give the (local) causal relations between fields coupled by the square-root isometry. Finally, we show the algebraic equivalency of bimetric theory and its vielbein formulation up to a one-to-one map relating the respective parameter spaces over the real numbers. === Den bimetriska teorin är en utökning av den allmänna relativitetsteorin som introducerar ett sekundärt symmetriskt tensorfält av rang-två.
