Covariant Lagrangian formulation for free bosonic massless fields ofarbitrary mixed-symmetry type in (A)dS(d) space-time is presented. The analysisis based on the frame-like formulation of higher-spin field dynamics [1] withhigher-spin fields described as p-forms taking values in appropriate modules ofthe (A)dS(d). The problem of finding free field action is reduced to theanalysis of an appropriate differential complex, with the derivation Qassociated with the variation of the action. The constructed action exhibitsadditional gauge symmetries in the flat limit in agreement with the generalstructure of gauge symmetries for mixed-symmetry fields in Minkowski and(A)dS(d) spaces.Comment: 17 pages, v2: clarifications added, misprints corrected; v3: minor changes, typos correcte
