High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-03-07 v4

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.
