Abstract

The manifestly gauge invariant formulation for free symmetric partially massless fields in $(A) d S_{d}$ 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.
