abstract
We formulate the conditions defining the irreducible continuous spin representation of the four-dimensional Poincar\'e group based on spin-tensor fields with dotted and undotted indices. Such a formulation simplifies analysis of the Bargmann-Wigner equations and reduces the number of equations from four to three. Using this formulation we develop the BRST approach and derive the covariant Lagrangian for the continuous spin fields.

A new single two-component spinor formulation for continuous-spin particles allows straightforward amplitudes, shows infinite-spin limit of massive amplitudes with exponentiation, and yields nontrivial collinear amplitudes constrained by a dimensionful CSP parameter.
Construction of first-class constraint systems for bosonic and fermionic continuous-spin fields in AdS_D that realize the so(2,D-1) algebra via Lie-Lorentz derivative and match Metsaev's Casimir classification.
Light-cone vector superspace yields simple spin operators for continuous-spin fields in AdS, enables classification of bosonic and fermionic cases in 4D, and produces all unitary irreps of the non-linear spin algebra.
Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric higher-spin fields with k-column Young tableaux are constructed via complete and incomplete BRST operators after converting constraints using Verma modules and Howe duality.
