Summary
The solutions of pure spin-two field equations in the presence of gravitation are shown to be strongly constrained by consistency requirements on the equations. Addition of nonminimal gravitational coupling cannot remove these difficulties.
Riassunto
Si dimostra che la soluzione delle equazioni di campo di spin due in presenza della gravitazione sono fortemente vincolate dall'esigenza di coerenza delle equazioni. Queste difficoltà permangono anche aggiungendo l'accoppiamento gravitazionale non minimo.
Резюме
Показывается, что решения уравнений поля со спином два при наличии гравитации сильно ограничены требованиями согласованности, наложенными на эти уравнения. Добавление неминимальноь гравитационной константы связи не может устранить эти трудности.
