Abstract
It is well known that classical electrodynamics can be described both as a field theory and as a theory of direct interparticle action. In the present paper it is shown that, provided certain general conditions are satisfied, fields of arbitrary spin have their counterparts in ‘direct particle fields’. This correspondence between the two formalisms is established in the Riemannian space-time used for general relativity.Keywords
