We consider nonlinear effective actions for a spin-2 field, whose `decoupling' limit gives Fierz-Pauli action in D dimensional maximally symmetric spacetime. We find, especially, the effective action for a partially massless field can take…
Various properties of two kinds of massless representations of the n-conformal (or (n+1)-De Sitter) group $\tilde{G}_n=\widetilde{SO}_0(2,n)$ are investigated for $n\ge2$. It is found that, for space-time dimensions $n\ge3$, the situation…
In this article, we quantize the Maxwell ("massless spin one") de Sitter field in a conformally invariant gauge. This quantization is invariant under the SO$_0(2,4)$ group and consequently under the de Sitter group. We obtain a new de…
We extend 2n-dim biconformal gauge theory by including Lorentz-scalar matter fields of arbitrary conformal weight. We show that for a massless scalar field of conformal weight zero in a torsion-free biconformal geometry, the solution is…
