摘要
We show that there exist conformally invariant theories for all spins in d = 4 de Sitter space, namely the partially massless models with higher derivative gauge invariance under a scalar gauge parameter. This extends the catalog from the two known gauge models-Maxwell and partially massless spin 2-to all spins. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
