Description
We obtain the Hamiltonian formalism of massless higher spins on a flat
background: the constraints are found and solved through the
introduction of prepotentials, in terms of which the equations of motion
take the form of self-duality conditions. These prepotentials enjoy an
additional gauge invariance under linearized rescaling. A system of
curvatures (Cotton tensors) associated to the corresponding conformal
geometry is built in the process. Based on 1810.04457 and 1609.04461.
