Unfolding Mixed-Symmetry Fields in AdS and the BMV Conjecture: II. Oscillator Realization

Understand

Following the general formalism presented in arXiv:0812.3615 -- referred to as Paper I -- we derive the unfolded equations of motion for tensor fields of arbitrary shape and mass in constantly curved backgrounds by radial reduction of Skvortsov's equations in one higher dimension.

• The complete unfolded system is embedded into a single master field, valued in a tensorial Schur module realized equivalently via either bosonic (symmetric basis) or fermionic (anti-symmetric basis) vector oscillators.
• At critical masses the reduced Weyl zero-form modules become indecomposable.
• We explicitly project the latter onto the submodules carrying Metsaev's massless representations.
