Lagrangian Formulation of Free Arbitrary <i>N</i>-Extended Massless Higher Spin Supermultiplets in 4D AdS Space

We derived the component Lagrangian for the free <i>N</i>-extended on-shell massless higher spin supermultiplets in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The construction was based on the frame-like description of massless integer and half-integer higher spin fields. The massless superm...

description We derived the component Lagrangian for the free <i>N</i>-extended on-shell massless higher spin supermultiplets in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The construction was based on the frame-like description of massless integer and half-integer higher spin fields. The massless supermultiplets were formulated for <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>N</mi><mo>≤</mo><mn>4</mn><mi>k</mi><mo>,</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> where <i>k</i> is a maximal integer or half-integer spin in the multiplet. The supertransformations that leave the Lagrangian invariant were found in explicit form and it was shown that their algebra is closed on-shell.
