SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of spin 2 gravitons, specifically how they manifest as spin 0, 1, or 2 due to their momentum components in the bulk. Participants confirm that this phenomenon is a direct consequence of the SU(2) representation dimension, which can be verified through tensor formalism calculations. The conversation also touches on the implications for fermions and other spin bosons, indicating a broader relevance in particle physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spin statistics in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with SU(2) representation theory
  • Knowledge of tensor formalism in physics
  • Basic concepts of particle physics, including bosons and fermions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research SU(2) representation theory in depth
  • Study tensor formalism applications in quantum field theory
  • Explore the properties of spin 2 particles and their implications
  • Investigate the behavior of fermions in relation to bosonic spin states
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, graduate students in particle physics, and researchers interested in quantum field theory and the properties of fundamental particles.

Is it true that spin 2 graviton will appear to us as spin 0,1 or 2, since it has a momentum component in the bulk? How about fermions and other spin bosons ?

It is a consequence of the su(2) representation dimension, you can chek it bye direct calculation on tensors formalism ;)
