The (m^2,\Lambda) plane of spin s>1 massive fields in (A)dS backgrounds is shown to consist of separate phases, divided by lines of novel ``partially massless'' gauge theories that successively remove helicities, starting from the lowest, 0 or +/-(1/2). The norms of the excluded states flip as the gauge lines are crossed and only the region containing the massive Minkowski theory is unitary. The partially massless gauge theories are unitary or not, depending on the ordering of the gauge lines. This ``level splitting'' of massless Minkowski gauge theories is specific to non-zero \Lambda.

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

Planck mass gravitinos in Einstein-Maxwell backgrounds
Consistency of minimally coupled Rarita-Schwinger fields in Einstein-Maxwell backgrounds requires a mass lower bound set by charge and cosmological constant, forcing Planck-scale masses for charged gravitinos.

Universal Nonminimal Coupling-to-Starobinsky Matching and a Single-Field Attractor
A claimed off-shell commutativity theorem in quadratic gravity is used to match generic nonminimal couplings to a Starobinsky R^2 sector and to derive a selection-enhanced single-field attractor bound, but the central...
