ON MASSIVE HIGHER SPIN INTERACTIONS IN FRADKIN-VASILIEV APPROACH // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2012. Issue 13 (128). P. 176-178

Here we discuss Fradkin-Vasiliev approach for investigation higher spin elds interactions. Initially this approach was developed for investigation of massless elds interactions, but using frame-like gauge invariant formalism for massive higher spin elds it can be straightforwardly applied to any combination of massive and/or massless elds. After brief description of such approach we consider the simplest possible examples - self-interaction and gravitational interaction for partially massless spin 2 eld.

ON MASSIVE HIGHER SPIN INTERACTIONS // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2014. Issue 12 (153). P. 259-262

We discuss a possibility to extend a Fradkin-Vasiliev formalism of constructing consistent cubic interaction vertices to the cases where vertex contains massive and/or massless higher spin fields. As an illustration we provide application of this formalism to the gravitational interactions of massless and partially massless spin-5/2 fields.
