Abstract
The unique, uniform, second-order formulation of massless bosons of helicity >=3 is presented here in terms of tetradic fields. The actions we find are shown to coincide both with the first-order (tetradic) formulation of Vasiliev and with the symmetric second-order description of Fronsdal. We carefully analyse the gravitational coupling of the spin-3 field and find that tetradic spin-3 matter presents the same translational consistency problem as symmetric matter does. Furthermore, in the curved tetradic case the generalized Lorentz invariance can be restored by the addition of nominimal terms.
