Abstract

In this paper we use a constructive approach based on gauge invariant description of massive high spin particles for investigation of possible interactions of massive spin 2 particle. We work with general case of massive spin 2 particle living in constant curvature (A)dSd(A)dS_d background, which allows us carefully consider all flat space, massless or partially massless limits. In the linear approximation (cubic terms with no more than two derivatives in the Lagrangians and linear terms with no more than one derivative in gauge transformations) we investigate possible self-interaction, interaction with matter (i.e. spin 0, 1 and 1/2 particles) and interaction with gravity.
