Abstract

In 2001, Zinoviev proposed a gauge-invariant formulation for a massive bosonic field with spin s2s \geq 2 in a spacetime of constant curvature. In this paper we carry out the Faddeev-Popov quantisation of this theory in dd-dimensional Minkowski space. We also make use of the Zinoviev theory to derive a generalisation of the Singh-Hagen model for a massive integer-spin field in d>4d>4 dimensions.
