Quantisation of the gauge-invariant models for massive higher-spin bosonic fields
In 2001, Zinoviev proposed a gauge-invariant formulation for a massive bosonic field with spin $s \geq 2$ in a spacetime of constant curvature. In this paper we carry out the Faddeev-Popov quantisation of this theory in $d$-dimensional Minkowski space. We also make use of the Zinoviev theory to derive a generalisation of the Singh-Hagen model for a massive integer-spin field in $d>4 $ dimensions.
