Transverse Invariant Higher Spin Fields
arXiv:hep-th/0701278 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2008.05.043
Abstract
It is shown that a symmetric massless bosonic higher-spin field can be described by a traceless tensor field with reduced (transverse) gauge invariance. The Hamiltonian analysis of the transverse gauge invariant higher-spin models is used to control a number of degrees of freedom.
