Description

Massless, spinning particles on AdS can be thought of as composite objects consisting of Rac's and Di's. A better geometric understanding of this idea may be useful for furthering physical applications. We describe a model associated with contractions of massless representations of SO0(2, 3) into the Poincaré group which may be useful for this purpose.
