Interactions for massive mixed symmetry field

Abstract

Here we give a first two examples of non-trivial interactions for simplest massive mixed symmetry field (hook) in general (A)dS space with arbitrary value of cosmological constant including flat Minkowski space. For that purpose using frame-like gauge invariant description of massive higher spin particles we extend Fradkin-Vasiliev approach initially developed for investigations of gravitational and other interactions for massless higher spin particles in AdS space to the case of arbitrary combinations of massive and/or massless particles including e.g. electromagnetic and gravitational interactions for massive higher spin ones.
