In this article, the dimensional reduction of massless gauge-invariant free Lagrangians for totally symmetric and totally antisymmetric tensors of arbitrary integral spins is carried out for the covariant and light-cone gauges.
Abstract: 
The dimensional reduction of massless gauge-invariant free Lagrangians for totally symmetric and totally antisymmetric tensors of arbitrary integral spins is carried out for the covariant and light-cone gauges. The structure of the auxiliary fields for the massive Lagrangians so obtained is elucidated.

On the cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless higher spins in (A)dS

Euihun Joung, +2 more
- 06 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the Stuckelberg formulation of the parity-invariant cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless totally-symmetric higher-spin fields in any constant-curvature background of dimension greater than three is investigated.

Gauge invariant Lagrangian construction for massive bosonic higher spin fields in D dimensions

Ioseph L. Buchbinder, +2 more
- 07 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the BRST approach to Lagrangian formulation for massive higher integer spin fields on a flat space-time of arbitrary dimension was developed. But no off-shell constraints on the fields (like tracelessness) and the gauge parameters are imposed.

Tensor Gauge Fields in Arbitrary Representations of GL( D, {mathbb{R})} : II. Quadratic Actions

Xavier Bekaert, +1 more
- 31 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: Quadratic second-order non-local actions for tensor gauge fields transforming in arbitrary irreducible representations of the general linear group in D-dimensional Minkowski space are explicitly written in a compact form by making use of Levi-Civita tensors as mentioned in this paper.
