Weyl and transverse diffeomorphism invariant spin-2 models in $$D=2+1$$ D = 2 + 1

Abstract There are two covariant descriptions of massless spin-2 particles in $$D=3+1$$ D = 3 + 1 via a symmetric rank-2 tensor: the linearized Einstein–Hilbert (LEH) theory and the Weyl plus transverse diffeomorphism (WTDIFF) invariant model. From the LEH theory one can obtain the linearized new ma...
