We present a covariant quantization scheme for the so-called "partially massless" graviton field in de Sitter spacetime. Our approach is founded on the principles of the de Sitter group representation theory (in the sense given by Wigner),…

We elaborate on the traceless and transverse spin projectors in four-dimensional de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces. The poles of these projectors are shown to correspond to partially massless fields. We also obtain a factorisation of the…
