Geometric formulation for partially massless fields

The manifestly gauge invariant formulation for free symmetric higher-spin partially massless fields in ( A ) dS d is given in terms of gauge connections and linearized curvatures that take values in the irreducible representations of ( o ( d − 1 , 2 ) ) o ( d , 1 ) described by two-row Young tableau...

Description
Summary:The manifestly gauge invariant formulation for free symmetric higher-spin partially massless fields in ( A ) dS d is given in terms of gauge connections and linearized curvatures that take values in the irreducible representations of ( o ( d − 1 , 2 ) ) o ( d , 1 ) described by two-row Young tableaux, in which the lengths of the first and second row are, respectively, associated with the spin and depth of partial masslessness.
