Mixed symmetry gauge fields in a flat background
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger
We present a list of all inequivalent bosonic covariant free particle wave equations in a flat spacetime of arbitrary dimension. The wave functions are assumed to have a finite num…
A note on spin-s duality
Nicolas Boulanger, Sandrine Cnockaert, Marc Henneaux
Duality is investigated for higher spin (), free, massless, bosonic gauge fields. We show how the dual formulations can be derived from a common "parent", first-order act…
Massless spin-two field S-duality
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger
We present a review of the homological algebra tools involved in the standard de Rham theory and their subsequent generalizations relevant for the understanding of free massless hi…
On geometric equations and duality for free higher spins
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger
We provide a general scheme for dualizing higher-spin gauge fields in arbitrary irreducible representations of GL(D,R). We also give a recipe for constructing Fronsdal-like field e…
