Abstract 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.

On the tensionless limit of string theory, off-shell higher spin interaction vertices and BCFW recursion relations (2010, background): “Higher Spin (HS) gauge theories (see [1–9] for recent reviews) are usually formulated in two different ways: in frame-like [10–20] or in metric-like [21–77] approaches.”
Massive Gravity (2014, background): “This special case is another point in parameter space where the helicity-0 mode could be decoupled, corresponding to a partially massless (PM) theory of gravity as first pointed out by Deser and Waldron [190, 189, 188], (see also [500] for partially massless higher spin, and [450] for related studie”
Higher order singletons, partially massless fields and their boundary values in the ambient approach (2013, methodology): “Over the years, various formulations of free PM fields have been investigate d, such as metric-like [42], frame-like [43, 44] and BRST-parent [21, 45, 46] approaches .”
On the uniqueness of higher-spin symmetries in AdS and CFT (2013, background): “types of the generators as gauging some of them may lead to partially-massless or nonunitary mixedsymmetry fields, [66–68], and results in the family hsd(ν).”
Unfolding mixed-symmetry fields in AdS and the BMV conjecture: I. General formalism (2008, background): “Our classification and definition of partially massless fields generalizes to the mixed-symmetry cases the results of [46] for totally symmetric fields in the framework on unfolding.”
