Abstract
A special embedding of the SU(4) algebra in SU(10), including both spin two and spin three symmetry generators, is constructed. A possible five dimensional action for massless spin two and three fields with cubic interaction is constructed. The connection with the previously investigated higher spin theories in AdS 5 background is discussed. Generalization to the more general case of symmetries, including spins 2, 3, . . . s, is shown.
