Abstract

The manifestly gauge invariant formulation for free symmetric 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 spin and depth of partial masslessness.
