Abstract

Quantum inequalities have been established for various quantum fields in both flat and curved spacetimes. In particular, for spin- $3 / 2$ fields, Yu and Wu have explicitly derived quantum inequalities for the massive case. Employing a similar method developed by Fewster and colleagues, this paper provides an explicit formula of quantum inequalities for a massless spin- $3 / 2$ field in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime.
