Conformal linear gravity in de Sitter space II

2012 
From the group theoretical point of view, it is proved that the theory of linear conformal gravity should be written in terms of a tensor field of rank-3 and mixed symmetry (Binegar et al. in Phys. Rev. D 27:2249, 1983). We obtained such a field equation in de Sitter space (Takook et al. in J. Math. Phys. 51:032503, 2010). In this paper, a proper solution to this equation is obtained as a product of a generalized polarization tensor and a massless scalar field and then the conformally invariant two-point function is calculated. This two-point function is de Sitter invariant and free of any pathological large-distance behavior.
