Elements of Vasiliev theory (2014, background): “tion we collect some useful facts about metric-like description of spin-sﬁelds, [1,76–78]. Following traditional ﬁeld theory the subject is pretty standard and have been reviewed many times, see e.g. [72,79,80]. For the sake of simplicity we deal with bosonic ﬁelds only. Description of fermions is i”
