Factorization of cubic vertices involving three different higher spin fields

We derive a class of cubic interaction vertices for three higher spin fields, with integer spins λ1, λ2, λ3, by closing commutators of the Poincaré algebra in four-dimensional flat spacetime. We find that these vertices exhibit an interesting factorization property which allows us to identify off-sh...
