We review, clarify and elaborate on some essential features of these two. For frame-like free fermions in Anti-de Sitter space, one can present a gauge-invariant Lagrangian description such that the constraints on the field and the gauge parameters mimic their flat-space counterparts. This simplifies the explicit demonstration of the equivalence of the two formulations at the free level. We comment on the subtleties that may arise in an interacting theory. dc:format: application/pdf; version=1.5 pdf:docinfo:creator_tool: LaTeX with hyperref package access_permission:fill_in_form: true pdf:encrypted: false dc:title: Frame- and Metric-Like Higher-Spin Fermions modified: 2018-03-05T13:31:33Z cp:subject: Conventional descriptions of higher-spin fermionic gauge fields appear in two varieties: the Aragone?Deser?Vasiliev frame-like formulation and the Fang?Fronsdal metric-like formulation.
