The Schouten tensor as a connection in the unfolding of 3D conformal higher-spin fields

Abstract A first-order differential equation is provided for a one-form, spin-s connection valued in the two-row, width-(s − 1) Young tableau of GL(5). The connection is glued to a zero-form identified with the spin-s Cotton tensor. The usual zero-Cotton equation for a symmetric, conformal spin-s te...
