Massless fields in curved space-time: The conformal formalism

A conformally invariant theory for massless quantum fields in curved space-time is formulated. We analyze the cases of spin-0, -1/2, and -1. The theory is developed in the important case of an "expanding universe," generalizing the particle model of "conformal transplantation" kn...
