Higher spin fields on curved spacetimes

This is a diploma thesis on Buchdahl's equations for the description of massive particles of arbitrary spin s/2. On 4-dimensional, globally hyperbolic Lorentzian spacetime manifolds, existence of advanced and retarded Green's operators is proved, the Cauchy problem for Buchdahl's equations is solved globally and two possible constructions for quantizing Buchdahl fields using CAR algebras in the fashion of [Dimock 1982] are given.
