Abstract

For a special value of the mass, a massive graviton on de Sitter space acquires an enhanced scalar gauge symmetry, and is called partially massless. The partially massless graviton possesses a duality invariance akin to electromagnetic duality. We display this duality in its manifestly local and covariant form, in which it acts to interchange the first-order field equations and Bianchi identities of a gauge invariant field strength.
