Abstract
In this note, we review the results of the letter arXiv:1906.03868 where we revisited the problem of constructing consistent interactions for a set of partially massless spin-2 fields in (anti-)de Sitter spacetime of arbitrary dimension. This was done using the BRST-BV deformation procedure around that background. As a result of the analysis, we recovered the impossibility of building a consistent theory of a single partially massless spin-2 field and were able to construct a completely non-linear theory for a multiplet of such fields that is consistent from the gauge invariance point of view, although having negative relative signs between kinetic terms.
