Geometric massive higher spins and current exchanges
Dario Francia
Generalised Fierz-Pauli mass terms allow to describe massive higher-spin fields on flat background by means of simple quadratic deformations of the corresponding geometric, massles…

Geometric Lagrangians for massive higher-spin fields
D. Francia
Lagrangians for massive, unconstrained, higher-spin bosons and fermions are proposed. The idea is to modify the geometric, gauge invariant Lagrangians describing the corresponding…

Current Exchanges and Unconstrained Higher Spins
D. Francia, J. Mourad, A. Sagnotti
The (Fang-)Fronsdal formulation for free fully symmetric (spinor-) tensors rests on (gamma-)trace constraints on gauge fields and parameters. When these are relaxed, glimpses of th…
