Manifest Duality for Partially Massless Higher Spins
read the original abstract
In four dimensions, partially massless fields of all spins and depths possess a duality invariance akin to electric-magnetic duality. We construct metric-like gauge invariant curvature tensors for partially massless fields of all integer spins and depths, and show how the partially massless equations of motion can be recovered from first order field equations and Bianchi identities for these curvatures. This formulation displays duality in its manifestly local and covariant form, in which it acts to interchange the field equations and Bianchi identities.

Axions on de Sitter space
Quantization of axions on dS_D yields Hilbert space H = L^2(S^1) ⊗ F with zero-mode U(1) charge, producing non-dS-invariant charged sectors and Hadamard Wightman functions that become asymptotically invariant.
