Generalized Einstein Operator Generating Functions

Understand

We present gauge invariant, self adjoint Einstein operators for mixed symmetry higher spin theories.

• The result applies to multi-forms, multi-symmetric forms and mixed antisymmetric and symmetric multi-forms.
• It also yields explicit action principles for these theories in terms of their minimal covariant field content.
• For known cases, these actions imply the mixed symmetry equations of motion of Labastida.
