Totally symmetric continuous spin field propagating in (A)dS is studied. Lagrangian gauge invariant formulation for such field is developed. Lagrangian of continuous spin field is constructed in terms of double traceless tensor fields, while gauge transformations are constructed in terms of traceless gauge transformation parameters. de Donder like gauge condition that leads to simple gauge fixed Lagrangian is found. Gauge-fixed Lagrangian invariant under global BRST transformations is presented. The BRST Lagrangian is used for computation of a partition function. It is demonstrated that the partition function of the continuous spin field is equal to one. Various decoupling limits of the continuous spin field are also studied.

Light-cone vector superspace and continuous-spin field in AdS
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.
