Conformal totally symmetric arbitrary spin fermionic fields    [PDF]

R. R. Metsaev

Conformal totally symmetric arbitrary spin fermionic fields in flat space-time of even dimension greater than or equal to four are studied. First-derivative formulation involving Fang-Fronsdal kinetic operator for such fields is developed. Gauge invariant Lagrangian and the corresponding gauge transformations are obtained. Gauge symmetries are realized by involving the Stueckelberg and auxiliary fields. Realization of conformal algebra symmetries on the space of conformal gauge fermionic fields is obtained. On-shell degrees of freedom of the arbitrary spin conformal fermionic field are also discussed.
