Abstract

We review the structure of local Lagrangians and field equations for free bosonic and fermionic gauge fields of mixed symmetry in flat space. These are first presented in a constrained setting and then the ( $\g$ -)trace constraints on fields and gauge parameters are eliminated via the introduction of a number of auxiliary fields.
