Understand

We show that, in contrast to known results in the massive case, a minimally gauged massless Rarita-Schwinger field yields consistent classical and quantum theories, with a generalized fermionic gauge invariance.

To simplify the algebra, we study a two-component left chiral reduction of the massless theory.
We formulate the classical theory in both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian form for a general non-Abelian gauging, and analyze the constraints and the Rarita-Schwinger gauge invariance of the action.
An explicit wave front calculation for Abelian gauge fields shows that wave-like modes do not propagate with superluminal velocities.
