Towards frame-like gauge invariant formulation for massive mixed symmetry bosonic fields

In this paper, as a first step towards frame-like gauge invariant formulation for massive mixed symmetry bosonic fields, we consider mixed tensors, corresponding to Young tableau with two rows with k >= 2 boxes in the first row and only one box in the second row. We construct complete Lagrangian and gauge transformations describing massive particles in (anti) de Sitter space-time with arbitrary dimension d >= 4 and investigate all possible massless and partially massless limits.
