Abstract
For the gauge massless higher spin 4D, = 1
off-shell supermultiplets previously developed, we provide evidence
of a twistor-like oscillator realization that is intrinsically
related to the superfield structure of the dynamical variables and
gauge transformations. Gauge invariant field strengths and
linearized Bianchi identities for these multiplets are worked
out. It is further argued, inspired by earlier non-supersymmetric
constructions due to Klishevich and Zinoviev, that a massive
superspin-s multiplet can be described as a gauge-invariant
dynamical system involving massless multiplets of superspins
s,s−1/2,...,0. A gauge-invariant formulation for the massive
gravitino multiplet is discussed in some detail.
