Abstract

We obtain dual actions for spin s2s \geq 2 massless fields in (A)dSd(A)dS_d by solving different algebraic constraints in the same first-order theory. Flat space dual higher spin actions obtained by Boulanger, Cnockaert and Henneaux \cite{BH} by solving differential constraints are shown to result from our formulation in a sort of quasi-classical approximation for the flat limit. The case of s=2s=2 is considered in detail.
