Frame-like formulation for free mixed-symmetry bosonic massless higher-spin fields in AdS(d)

Abstract

In this paper we discuss in detail the frame-like formulation of free bosonic massless higher-spin fields of general symmetry type in AdS(d), announced recently in hep-th/0311164, hep-th/0501108. Properties of gauge invariant and AdS covariant action functionals and their flat limits are carefully analyzed.

54 pages; v3: Erratum added pointing out incorrectness of the hypothesis on the structure of torsion-like constraints used in Section 8. Cases for which the results of the paper remain unaffected are listed
