Summary:
Rarita-Schwinger fields are solutions to the relativistic field equation of spin-$3/2$ fermions in four dimensional flat spacetime, which are important in supergravity and superstring theories. Bureš et al. generalized it to arbitrary spin $k/2$ in 2002 in the context of Clifford algebras. In this article, we introduce a higher spin $\Pi $-operator related to the Rarita-Schwinger operator. Further, we investigate norm estimates, mapping properties and the adjoint operator of the higher spin $\Pi $-operator. As an application, a higher spin Beltrami equation is introduced, and existence and uniqueness of solutions to this higher spin Beltrami equation is established by the norm estimate of the higher spin $\Pi $-operator.
