Minimal fields of canonical dimensionality are free

Minimal fields of canonical dimensionality are free

It is shown that in a scale-invariant relativistic field theory, any field $\psi_n$ belonging to the $(j,0)$ or $(0,j)$ representations of the Lorentz group and with dimensionality $d=j+1$ is a free field. For other field types there is no value of the dimensionality that guarantees that the field is free. …
