Title: Poincaré-Invariant Equations for a Massless Field with Arbitrary Spin
Abstract: In this chapter we consider various generalizations of the Maxwell and Weyl equations to the case of massless fields with arbitrary helicity. Such a generalization is interesting from a purely mathematical point of view, since it affords an opportunity for a new look at Maxwell's equations which are only a link in an infinite chain of Poincaré-invariant equations for fields with zero mass. The equations considered below should also evoke practical interest, since fields with zero rest mass and spin different from 1/2 and 1 are altogether real physical objects (for example, the gravitational field having spin 2).
