Effective interactions and on-shell recursion relation for massive spin 3/2
read the original abstract
We use on-shell methods to compute all three-point interactions of massive spin-3/2 particles involving a graviton and particles of spin $\leq 1$. By employing the massive spinor-helicity formalism we identify the interactions which have a smooth massless limit as expected from the superHiggs mechanism. These interactions are then used to on-shell construct four-point massive spin-3/2 amplitudes using an all-line transverse shift for the external momenta, which correctly reproduces the contact gravitino interactions in the $N=1$ supergravity Lagrangian. The on-shell constructed four-point amplitudes are also used to derive well-known unitarity bounds in supergravity. In particular, by adding scalar and pseudoscalar interactions to construct the four-point massive spin-3/2 amplitudes that scale as $E^2$ in the high-energy limit, we recover the on-shell Polonyi model with a Planck scale unitarity bound. These effective three-point interactions and on-shell recursion relations provide an alternative and simpler way to study the interactions of massive spin-3/2 particles without a Lagrangian or the use of Feynman diagrams.

Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity
Massive spin-3/2 EFT contact couplings are constrained by positivity to a Planck-suppressed neighborhood of supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.

Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity
Positivity bounds on massive spin-3/2 four-fermion operators restrict the couplings to a bounded region around supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.

Gravitational multipoles from scattering amplitudes in higher dimensions
In five dimensions, minimally coupled massive vector and antisymmetric tensor fields produce only mass or stress quadrupoles respectively from scattering amplitudes, failing to match the Myers-Perry black hole and dem...
