Lagrange Anchor and Characteristic Symmetries of Free Massless FieldsKeywords: symmetries , conservation laws , Bargmann-Wigner equations , Lagrange anchor Abstract: A Poincaré covariant Lagrange anchor is found for the non-Lagrangian relativistic wave equations of Bargmann and Wigner describing free massless fields of spin s>1/2 in four-dimensional Minkowski space. By making use of this Lagrange anchor, we assign a symmetry to each conservation law and perform the path-integral quantization of the theory.
