Abstract

We consider unconstrained formulation of the higher spin gauge theory in anti de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, given by actions [1, 2], and provide on-shell supersymmetry transformations for the N=1\mathcal{N}=1 unconstrained massless higher spin supermultiplet in four-dimensional AdS4_4. Such an irreducible supermultiplet (Φ1,Φ2;Ψ1,Ψ2)(\Phi_1, \Phi_2 \,; \Psi_1,\Psi_2) contains a pair of bosonic fields, with opposite parity, which are generating functions (infinite collection of totally symmetric real tensor fields of all integer rank s=0,1,,s= 0, 1, \ldots, \infty), as well as two fermionic fields, which have opposite signs of the AdS radius, that are spinorial generating functions (infinite tower of totally symmetric Majorana spinor-tensor fields of all half-integer spin s=12,32,,s={\scriptstyle \frac{1}{2}}, {\scriptstyle \frac{3}{2}}, \ldots, \infty).
