Title: Higher Spins and Sp(2n) Symmetry

Abstract: We consider the Sp(2n) invariant formulation of higher spin fields
on flat and curved backgrounds of constant curvature. In this formulation
an infinite number of higher spin fields are packed into single scalar and
spinor master fields (hyperfields) propagating on extended spaces, to be
called hyperspaces, parametrized by tensorial coordinates. We show that the
free field equations on flat and AdS--like hyperspaces are related to each
other by a generalized conformal transformation of the scalar and spinor master
fields and show how to compute Green functions.
