From Diophantus to supergravity and massless higher spin multiplets

Abstract We present a new method of deriving the off-shell spectrum of supergravity and massless 4D, N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 higher spin multiplets without the need of an action and based on a set of natural requirements: (a.) existence of an underlying superspace description, (b.) an economical des...
