[Abstract: The approximate linear form of Einstein's gravitational field is quantized by using an indefinite metric. It is shown that only two types of gravitons can be observed, though many more can exist in virtual states in the presence of interaction. The observable gravitons are shown to be particles of spin 2. Using the interaction representation, the interaction of the gravitational field with the matter field is briefly discussed.] 3.

[Abstract: Einstein's theory of gravitation is compared with Maxwell's theory of the electromagnetic field, and some common features of the two theories are pointed out. It is also shown that the well-known peculiarities of Einstein's theory are a necessary consequence of the fact that Einstein's field corresponds to particles of spin 2. 6. GUPTA, N.

Suraj Gupta was an Indian-American theoretical physicist known for his contribution to the quantum field theory. From that came the first attempts to derive the equations of general relativity from quantum field theory for a massless spin two particle (graviton). His work made contributions in various areas of quantum field theory and elementary particle physics, as well as quantum chromodynamics and quarkonium. Early in his career he was at the Cavendish Lab. Most recently he was professor at Wayne State University in Detroit where he is distinguished as Professor of Physics (Emeritus). …
