Abstract

We consider the problem of the causal propagation of spinning fields, and how for these fields the spin-torsion interaction can cause problems; these problems may be acausal propagation or failure to propagate, or even loss of constraints needed to provide the correct number of degrees of freedom for the field: we discuss a few examples.

Refreshments will be served at café et biscuits à 15h00, au V-221.
