First Order Formalism for Massive Mixed Symmetry Tensor Fields in Minkowski and (A)dS Spaces

Abstract

In this paper we extend our recent results (hep-th/0304067) on the first order formulation for the massless mixed symmetry tensor fields to the case of massive fields both in Minkowski as well as in (Anti) de Sitter spaces (including all possible massless and partially massless limits). Main physical results are essentially the same as in hep-th/0211233.
