A generating formulation for free higher spin massless fields

Abstract

An action describing the dynamics of an infinite collection of massless integer spin fields with spin s=0,1,2,3, ...$\infty$ corresponding to totally symmetric Young tableaux representations of Poincare and anti-de Sitter groups is constructed, in any dimension d, in terms of two functions on a 2d-dimensional manifold. The action is represented by an integral localized on a 2d-1-dimensional hypersurface.
