Abstract
We propose a new (chiral) description of partially-massless fields in 4d, including the partially-massless graviton, that is similar to the pure connection formulation for gravity and massless higher spin fields, the latter having a clear twistor origin. The new approach allows us to construct complete examples of higher spin gravities with (partially-)massless fields that feature Yang-Mills and current interactions.
