Description

A family of theories which are dual to the massive spin two Fierz-Pauli field hμν, both free and coupled to external sources, is constructed in terms of a T(μν)σ tensor. The dualization method, a purely Lagrangian approach, is based on a first order parent Lagrangian, from which the dual partners are generated
