In this Letter we consider the problem of partial masslessness and unitarity in (A)dS using gauge invariant description of massive high spin particles. We show that for S = 2 and S = 3 cases such formalism allows one correctly reproduce all known results. Then we construct a gauge invariant formulation for massive particles of arbitrary integer spin s in arbitrary space-time dimension d. For d = 4 our results confirm the conjecture made recently by Deser and Waldron.

  1. A Partially Massless Superconductor

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A covariant Higgs mechanism turns the partially massless graviton into a fully massive spin-2 field by condensing a fractonic matter field with dipole symmetry.

  2. First Search for Kaluza-Klein Gravitons and Radion Using Planck Data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    First Planck search for radion and KK-graviton bispectra finds no significant non-Gaussianity (max 1.8σ at m_KK ≈ 1.6H), while a warped 5D model can yield f_NL ~ 1–50.

  3. Horizon Edge Partition Functions in $\Lambda>0$ Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Horizon edge mode spectra in de Sitter and Nariai spacetimes exhibit universal shift symmetries that produce novel symmetry breaking in one-loop partition functions.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    One-loop partition functions of massive spinning fields on any smooth cusp-free hyperbolic 3-manifold are expressed as Wilson spools, sums over free loops of holonomy traces in lowest-weight sl(2,R) representations.

  5. Electromagnetic Interactions of Massive Higher-Spin Fields in 3D via Chiral Theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Massive higher-spin fields in 3D can couple to electromagnetic backgrounds via the Bogomolny equation, with g=1/s, obtained by dimensional reduction of 4D higher-spin self-dual Yang-Mills theory.

  6. Partially massless spin 2 and supersymmetry

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper derives explicit minimal cubic vertices coupling partially massless spin-2 to massless and specially-massive spin-3/2 fields, with one case requiring higher-derivative terms.

  7. BRST-BV approach to fields in Poincare patch of AdS

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    A universal BRST-BV Lagrangian for free AdS fields is obtained by solving algebraic defining equations for spin operators, with explicit solutions for totally symmetric integer-spin and continuous-spin fields.

  8. Wigner continuous-spin equations in $\mathbf{AdS_D}$: bosonic and fermionic cases

    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.

    Edge partition functions for totally symmetric tensors in dS_{d+1} are decomposed under so(d), with the linearized gravity case receiving contributions from shift-symmetric fields on S^{d-1} suggesting an embedded bra...
